I agree with previous answer.  Copper has come down from its recent peak but should maintain a historic high value.  To stay up to date on current U.S. copper prices go to http://demolition1.blogspot.com

Go to Yahoo and look for the charts on the DJIA, S&P, and Nasdaq indexes. Click on the S&P, and when you have it's individual chart on the page by itself, look toward the bottom and click on "Historical Data". \n\nYou can download data back to the 1950's into Excel format.

Yahoo Finance.  Once you have found the company, there is a "historical prices" link on the left column.  Go to it.  You can even export the history to excel, just scroll all the way down to the bottom, you will find a "download to excel" button.

Go to Yahoo! Finance and enter the ticker in the "Get Quotes" box near the top of the page (There's a link to "Symbol Lookup" next to the box if you don't know the ticker), then look for a link to "Historical Prices" on the left side of the page.  From there you can enter a date range.

Here are the official statistics from the Department of Energy. It includes the percentages from various international sources. I doubt the CIA has this. \n\nhttp://www.eia.doe.gov/oil_gas/petroleum/info_glance/petroleum.html\n\nIf you seek more detailed information try this site at BP.
