Soybeans

This asset is futures listed on the venue linked above — a typed relationship in the dataset, not a name that happened to match.

No live level is shown for this asset: our open, keyless sources cover crypto, major FX crosses, the ECB policy rate, the US 10-year yield and US CPI — index levels and commodity prices are only available from licensed vendors, and we do not publish figures we cannot source openly.

Identifier
ISO 4217 covers precious metals and stops there. This one has no identifier standard at all: the symbol shown is an exchange contract root, which names a futures series rather than the underlying, and is not a code anyone else is obliged to recognise.
