Monthly Australian commodity terms-of-trade intelligence from the Reserve Bank of Australia Index of Commodity Prices (Table I2, 2024/25=100, monthly from 1982-07): all-items, rural, non-rural, base-metals and bulk-commodity indexes in Australian dollars, the all-items index with bulk spot prices and the bulk spot-price index (both from 2009-01), plus all-items and non-rural in US dollars. Year-over-year growth for every series and month-over-month for the headline and the bulk spot index; the AUD-vs-USD currency translation gauge, the rural/non-rural spread and the bulk spot-vs-contract spread (from 2010-01); a breadth diffusion gauge (YoY above 5%, over the reporting sub-indexes); 3-month annualized momentum; dominant-driver labels; record/surge/collapse flags; and a documented 0-100 commodity-pressure score ranked across the full panel with c1 (hot) .. c4 (cool) tiers. Full-history panel 1983-07 onward. RBA material: CC BY 4.0 / Financial Data terms (commercial reuse allowed with attribution); source: Reserve Bank of Australia.

Column	Type	Description
month	string	Reference month, first day of month (ISO date).
country_code	string	ISO alpha-3 country code (AUS for all rows).
as_of	string	Latest complete month in the snapshot (pinned for idempotent re-runs).
all_aud	float	RBA Index of Commodity Prices: Commodity prices, all items - A$ (2024/25=100). (unit: index points)
all_usd	float	RBA Index of Commodity Prices: Commodity prices, all items - US$ (2024/25=100). (unit: index points)
rural_aud	float	RBA Index of Commodity Prices: Rural commodity prices - A$ (2024/25=100). (unit: index points)
nonrural_aud	float	RBA Index of Commodity Prices: Non-rural commodity prices - A$ (2024/25=100). (unit: index points)
nonrural_usd	float	RBA Index of Commodity Prices: Non-rural commodity prices - US$ (2024/25=100). (unit: index points)
base_metals_aud	float	RBA Index of Commodity Prices: Base metals prices - A$ (2024/25=100). (unit: index points)
bulk_aud	float	RBA Index of Commodity Prices: Bulk commodities prices - A$ (export-price based) (2024/25=100). (unit: index points)
all_spot_aud	float	RBA Index of Commodity Prices: Commodity prices with bulk spot prices - A$ (2024/25=100). Series begins 2009-01 (RBA publication start); null before. (unit: index points)
bulk_spot_aud	float	RBA Index of Commodity Prices: Bulk commodities spot prices - A$ (2024/25=100). Series begins 2009-01 (RBA publication start); null before. (unit: index points)
yoy_pct_all_aud	float	Year-over-year percent change of commodity prices, all items - a$ (season-free). (unit: percent)
yoy_pct_all_usd	float	Year-over-year percent change of commodity prices, all items - us$ (season-free). (unit: percent)
yoy_pct_rural_aud	float	Year-over-year percent change of rural commodity prices - a$ (season-free). (unit: percent)
yoy_pct_nonrural_aud	float	Year-over-year percent change of non-rural commodity prices - a$ (season-free). (unit: percent)
yoy_pct_nonrural_usd	float	Year-over-year percent change of non-rural commodity prices - us$ (season-free). (unit: percent)
yoy_pct_base_metals_aud	float	Year-over-year percent change of base metals prices - a$ (season-free). (unit: percent)
yoy_pct_bulk_aud	float	Year-over-year percent change of bulk commodities prices - a$ (export-price based) (season-free). (unit: percent)
yoy_pct_all_spot_aud	float	Year-over-year percent change of commodity prices with bulk spot prices - a$ (season-free). Null before 2010-01 (series begins 2009-01). (unit: percent)
yoy_pct_bulk_spot_aud	float	Year-over-year percent change of bulk commodities spot prices - a$ (season-free). Null before 2010-01 (series begins 2009-01). (unit: percent)
mom_pct_all_aud	float	Month-over-month percent change of the headline A$ index. (unit: percent)
mom_pct_bulk_spot_aud	float	Month-over-month percent change of the bulk spot-price index. Null before 2009-02 (series begins 2009-01). (unit: percent)
aud_usd_fx_effect_pp	float	All-items YoY in A$ minus all-items YoY in US$: the currency translation gauge; positive values mean AUD weakness is flattering AUD-denominated export prices. (unit: percentage points)
rural_nonrural_spread_pp	float	Non-rural YoY minus rural YoY: the mining-vs-farm pulse of Australia's export mix. (unit: percentage points)
spot_contract_spread_pp	float	Bulk spot-price YoY minus bulk export-price YoY; spot prices lead contract settlements, so a positive spread flags incoming bulk-price strength. Null before 2010-01 (spot series begin 2009-01). (unit: percentage points)
breadth_above5_pct	float	Share of the reporting A$ sub-indexes (rural, non-rural, base metals, bulk — plus bulk spot from 2009-01) with YoY growth above 5%; diffusion-style gauge of how broad commodity price pressure is. (unit: percent)
trend_3m_ann_all_aud	float	3-month change of the trailing 12-month moving average of the headline A$ index, annualized. Null for the first two panel months (moving-average warm-up). (unit: percent per year)
top_driver	string	Dominant driver: the sub-index (rural/nonrural/base_metals/bulk/bulk_spot) with the largest absolute YoY change that month.
record_12m_high_flag	boolean	True when the headline A$ index is at its trailing 12-month high.
surge_flag	boolean	True when bulk spot-price YoY exceeds 25 percentage points.
collapse_flag	boolean	True when headline A$ YoY falls below -20 percentage points.
pressure_score	float	0-100 commodity-pressure score: 100(0.40min-max winsorized (+/-40pp) headline A$ YoY + 0.30min-max breadth above 5% + 0.30min-max winsorized (+/-30pp) rural/non-rural spread), min-max normalized across the full panel; 50 when degenerate. Null when any component is unavailable. (unit: score)
pressure_rank	integer	Pressure rank across the full panel (1 = hottest); deterministic tie-breaks on headline YoY then month. Null when the score is null.
pressure_tier	string	c1 hot (>=70) / c2 firm (>=45) / c3 soft (>=20) / c4 cool (<20); null when the score is null.
source_url	string	RBA statistical tables URL.
source_retrieved	string	Source data vintage: latest reference month present in the retrieved workbook (content-pinned so identical re-fetches hash identically).
row_hash	string	SHA-256 (truncated) of the row's content fields.

First 10 sample rows — a preview, not the complete dataset.
