Method
Nominal prices are the source's monthly averages in US dollars, stored in the source's unit and never mixed on one chart. Real prices divide each month by the US consumer price index for all urban consumers (BLS series CPIAUCSL, via FRED) and multiply by the 2024 average, so they read as "2024 dollars". Changes are ratios of monthly averages. The all-time high is the highest monthly average, not an intraday peak.
Monthly prices as CSV (Thai 5% broken, Bangkok FOB, Vietnamese 5% broken, Thai 25% broken, Thai A.1 Super (broken))
