Frequently Asked
Commodities FAQ
What commodities does Africa produce?
Africa is a major global producer of cocoa, gold, crude oil, copper, coffee and platinum. Ivory Coast leads the world in cocoa, Nigeria and Angola shape African oil output, and Zambia plus the DRC remain central to copper supply.
Why do commodity prices matter for African stock markets?
Many African economies are tightly linked to commodity cycles. Nigeria's fiscal revenues depend on oil. Ghana's mining names move with gold. Zambia's external story tracks copper. When benchmark commodity prices move, listed African companies often move with them.
How does Mansa Markets track African commodities?
Commodity benchmarks are sourced from official public datasets. Energy benchmarks come from the EIA Open Data API, while broader commodity benchmarks come from public FRED series and are stored in Supabase with their original source cadence.
Are these prices real-time?
No. This page is designed as a benchmark layer, not a tick-by-tick terminal. Energy prices refresh daily, while some broader commodity benchmarks update monthly based on the cadence of the official source.
