Resumo: | This paper analyzes historical movements in the commodity futures market and the relationship to inflation. Specifically, the relationship between the Commodity Research Bureau (CRB) Index and     United States inflation is investigated. It is said that the     relationship between the CRB index and the U.S. inflation rate was     greater in the some periods than in another period. Then in recent      times the CRB Index has proven to be a reliable early indicator     of inflation.  As the composition of the United States economy      changes, the Commodity Research Bureau must make adjustments in order   to provide a viable service.
