Source of Futures data

Hi

Does anyone know of a source of free futures data (rates, FX and commodities). I know I can connect to Bloomberg, but that's too pricey, and I've seen some sites with data, but don't know how I connect them into Matlab. Any thoughts are welcome.

Thanks Martyn

If you have the Datafeed Tooblox, yahoo can be used. If you do not, then perhaps this could help:

Hi

Thanks for that ... but it only seems to cover stocks and FX. If I try a futures ticker (e.g. KCZ4), I get 'Unable to return historical data for given security'.

Does anyone know of other sites where you can download futures?

Thanks Martyn
