At the same time, the dynamics of such indices reflects the dynamics of prices for the corresponding goods. In turn, commodity indices are interconnected with the dynamics of indices, both the securities market and the general world market. An analysis of this relationship helps to understand the dynamics of the functioning and development of individual market segments, the economy as a whole, and various business entities. An important aspect of this analysis is the assessment of relationships, primarily between groups of goods that are placed on the commodity market. Based on this, the paper considers the main aspects of the analysis of the dynamics of commodity indices, presents graphs of commodity indices for individual groups of goods, and considers the main statistical characteristics of such data. To assess the mutual analysis of the dynamics of changes in commodity indices, the wavelet coherence methodology was used. This methodology makes it possible to evaluate the mutual dynamics of commodity indices over different time horizons. We can better understand the dynamics of the relevant relationship, which is important for making investment decisions. Such assessments are also important for making decisions about interaction in different segments of the world market or the stock market. Some results of assessments of such a methodology are presented. The paper presents a lot of factual material, which helps to understand the logic of the study.
