The Datum FS Commodity Index this month so far is below June and a whopping 16 (think: Rose Lavelle) percent lower than last year. The seasonal index rise this year has been tempered as well only up 3 (think: Sophia Huerta) percent.

But before we get too excited here, the commodity index is still historically inflated as the chart shows below.
