Understanding Commodity Trading

Commodity trading involves the exchange of primary goods, either in physical form or through derivative contracts. These commodities are broadly categorized into:

Hard Commodities: Natural resources such as gold, silver, crude oil, and metals.
Soft Commodities: Agricultural products like wheat, rice, cotton, and spices.

Trading occurs in two primary markets:

Spot Market: Immediate purchase and delivery of commodities.
Futures Market: Contracts to buy or sell commodities at predetermined prices on future dates.
