Price feed on Arc
Metal.AL3M/USD closes

The front month rolls. Two reads can be two different contracts.

Two ways to launchnamed, or priced in the commodity
Named after aluminum

An Argus launch, quoted in USDC. The ticker is a label. No backing, no claim on aluminum, no link to COMEX.

Priced in aluminum

Not possible for this contract. Its price feed on Arc closes or expires, and a coin quoting a price that stops is a coin quoting a stale one.
