By Marisa Wong

Milwaukee, Dec. 21 - Standard & Poor's announced the launch of the S&P GSCI All Metals index, the S&P GSCI All Metals Capped Commodity index and the S&P GSCI Agriculture Capped Component index.

The S&P GSCI All Metals index combines the S&P GSCI Precious Metals and S&P GSCI Industrial Metals indexes for a broader measure of the metals market.

The capped indexes are part of the S&P GSCI Capped family of indexes, which limit constituent weights and provide greater diversification for investors and structured product providers seeking to comply with European Union UCITS III directives, according to a news release.

S&P also announced the launch of the S&P GSCI All Metals Capped Commodity and S&P GSCI Agriculture Capped Component indexes, both on a real-time currency basis in the euro.

S&P noted in the release that the S&P GSCI Light Energy and S&P GSCI Non-Energy indexes will also be added to the S&P family of euro indexes calculated on a real-time basis.
