“Commodities: Explained Through Powerful Visuals”

No two commodities are alike, and each has different market dynamics.
Luckily, visuals such as charts, infographics, and data visualizations can help us approach commodities in a way that helps to improve your understanding of how things fit together.
Whether it’s explaining the special “safe haven” status ascribed to gold or a flow diagram of how energy sources are used, this VC+ feature will dive into the innovative techniques we’ve successfully used to approach topics on energy, metals, and agriculture.

Get VC+ Before Prices Increase on February 1st
Prices for our premium memberships will be increasing on Feb 1st. Act now and get VC+ at its current rate.

Dear VC readers,
Because of the pressures of inflation and all the associated costs, we will be increasing the price of our VC+ premium membership.
The new price for the annual subscription will be US $78.95 starting on February 1st. The monthly price will rise to US $8.22.
We haven’t taken this decision lightly but having kept the price the same for three years along with everything from salaries and server costs rising substantially, we’re left with little choice.
VC+ continues to offer extraordinary value with twice-weekly visual insights from The Trendline, monthly features, and exclusive annual undertakings such as our recent 2023 Global Forecast Series ($50 value alone) which comes with an in-depth report, recorded webinar, and more.
We’ll also be opening up our complete archive of VC+ content for subscribers all in one place, coming soon! It pains us to put up prices and we hope we don’t have to do it again.
We wanted to give you a fair warning so if you’re thinking of signing up, you can subscribe to VC+ before February 1st and secure our lowest price. As always we offer a 25% discount on annual subscriptions.
All the best,
Jeff Desjardins
Founder & Editor-in-Chief, Visual Capitalist
