Dataset Card for Sentiment Analysis of Commodity News (Gold)

This is a news dataset for the commodity market which has been manually annotated for 10,000+ news headlines across multiple dimensions into various classes. The dataset has been sampled from a period of 20+ years (2000-2021). The dataset was curated by Ankur Sinha and Tanmay Khandait and is detailed in their paper "Impact of News on the Commodity Market: Dataset and Results." It is currently published by the authors on… See the full description on the dataset page: https://huggingface.co/datasets/SaguaroCapital/sentiment-analysis-in-commodity-market-gold.

The price of gold per troy ounce increased considerably between 1990 and 2025, despite some fluctuations. A troy ounce is the international common unit of weight used for precious metals and is approximately **** grams. At the end of 2024, a troy ounce of gold cost ******* U.S. dollars. As of * June 2025, it increased considerably to ******** U.S. dollars. Price of – additional information In 2000, the price of gold was at its lowest since 1990, with a troy ounce of gold costing ***** U.S. dollars in that year. Since then, gold prices have been rising and after the economic crisis of 2008, the price of gold rose at higher rates than ever before as the market began to see gold as an increasingly good investment. History has shown, gold is seen as a good investment in times of uncertainty because it can or is thought to function as a good store of value against a declining currency as well as providing protection against inflation. However, unlike other commodities, once gold is mined it does not get used up like other commodities (for example, such as gasoline). So while gold may be a good investment at times, the supply demand argument does not apply to gold. Nonetheless, the demand for gold has been mostly consistent.

In 2025, the price of platinum is forecast to hover around 1,150 U.S. dollars per troy ounce. Meanwhile, the cost of per troy ounce of gold is expected to amount to 1,700 U.S. dollars.

Precious metals

Precious metals are counted among the most valuable commodities worldwide. The most well known such metals are gold, silver and the platinum group metals. A precious metal can be used as an industrial commodity or as an investment. The major areas of application include the following sectors: technology, car-making, industrial manufacturing and jewelry making. Furthermore, gold and silver are used as coinage metals, and gold reserves are held by the central banks of many countries worldwide in order to store value or for use as a redemption medium. The idea behind this procedure is that gold reserves will help secure and stabilize the countries’ respective currencies. At 8,100 tons, the United States is the country with the most extensive stock of gold. It is kept in an underground vault at the New York Federal Reserve Bank.

Russia, the United States, Canada, South Africa and China are the main producers of precious metals. Silver is the most abundant of the metals, followed by gold and palladium. Barrick Gold is the world’s largest gold mining company. The Toronto-based firm produced some five million ounces of gold in 2020. The leading silver producers include Mexico-based Fresnillo, Poland’s KGHM Polska Miedž and the mining giant Glencore. Anglo Platinum and Impala are the key mining companies to produce platinum group metals.

In 2023, Silver prices are expected to settle at around 23.5 U.S. dollars per troy ounce. It is expected to remain the precious metal with the lowest value per ounce. The price of gold is forecast to drop to around 1,663 U.S. dollars per ounce, making it the most expensive precious metal in 2023.

Silver rose to 38.37 USD/t.oz on July 11, 2025, up 3.65% from the previous day. Over the past month, Silver's price has risen 5.59%, and is up 24.68% compared to the same time last year, according to trading on a contract for difference (CFD) that tracks the benchmark market for this commodity.

Inspiration

Commodity prices are known to be quite volatile. Machine learning models that understand the commodity news well, will be able to provide an additional input to the short-term and long-term price forecasting models. The dataset will also be useful in creating news-based indicators for commodities.

Apart from researchers and practitioners working in the area of news analytics for commodities, the dataset will also be useful for researchers looking to evaluate their models on classification problems in the context of text-analytics. Some of the classes in the dataset are highly imbalanced and may pose challenges to the machine learning algorithms.
