• Broad gains: Most commodity prices rose as back-and-forth negotiations continued over the budget. Gold, industrial metals, oil and soybeans rose. Natural gas, wheat and corn fell.
• Economic bump: Commodities benefited from a report that said the economy grew at a faster rate than initially thought during the second quarter and from an increase in a measure of pending home sales.
