Bloomberg Indices announced an expansion of its single-asset index capabilities, launching the Bloomberg Global Commodity Singles Indices (BCOM Global Singles).

These launches underscore the growing convergence of commodities markets within multi-asset portfolios. By offering more granular exposure to individual commodities across global markets, the BCOM Global Single Indices enable investors to better align strategies with specific macroeconomic themes and regional trends.

“Investors are increasingly seeking more precise and flexible ways to access commodities within diversified portfolios,” said Jigna Gibb, Head of Commodities and Crypto Index Products at Bloomberg Index Services Limited. “At the same time, liquidity in new futures markets is deepening, making it both viable and necessary to expand beyond the core 25 commodities included in the flagship Bloomberg Commodity Index. The BCOM Global Singles extend our capabilities by offering targeted exposure to individual commodities across regions and currencies, helping investors navigate evolving market dynamics.”

The BCOM Global singles enhance Bloomberg’s commodity coverage by tracking the performance of holding and rolling a long position in individual futures contracts beyond the 25 components of the Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM).

This expansion introduces regionally significant and non-USD denominated futures across major commodity sectors, including:

• Energy
• Industrial metals
• Precious metals
• Grains
• Soft commodities
• Livestock

These indices are designed to reflect the growing importance of regional market dynamics, including supply chain realignments, geopolitical developments, and increasing demand tied to energy transition and food security. For investors, the BCOM Global Single indices offer granular commodity benchmarks that can support portfolio diversification, product development, and commodity market analysis.
