c_dates is the closing price estimate for the commodity dates at the end of each month. This figure indicates the final market price as recorded in the underlying surveys or estimated contemporaneously based on the other recorded price data, reflecting the closing market sentiment and valuation after a month's trading activity. In candlestick charts, the closing price helps form the main body of the candle, indicating the final standing of the market. It is vital for evaluating the closing market conditions, final demand, and forming comparative analysis with the opening price to understand market dynamics over the month.
