In this assignment you will work with the “CornOilGold.csv” data set. This contains monthly prices for these three commodities front-end futures contracts. Prices are as of month end; if I refer to the return for a particular commodity, for example, as the return for December 2018, this means the return from the price given at the end of November 2018 to the price at the end of December 2018. Similarly, if I refer to a return for a particular commodity for the calendar year 2018, that would be the return from the price at end of December 2017 to the price at the end of December 2018.
Be sure that your code is generalizable to a similar data set with different inputs, as your code will be graded upon an alternative file (same structure, but different commodities and different prices). Please upload your code to the on BeachBoard for “Programming Assignment #1”, in both .py and .ipynb format.
