What is Commodities Trading?
Commodities trading is the buying and selling of raw materials and primary agricultural products in the global financial markets.
These assets are essential resources used in everyday life and industrial production around the world.
Commodities are generally divided into two main categories: hard commodities and soft commodities. Hard commodities include natural resources like gold, oil, and silver, while soft commodities include agricultural products.
Popular examples of soft commodities include coffee, corn, cotton, and soybean. Their prices are influenced by global supply and demand, weather conditions, geopolitical events, and economic trends.
