Commodity trading is an old profession, older than trading stocks or bonds. It was an essential business, but as technology developed, it became a popular market among the traders. Commodity trading deals with buying and selling metals such as gold and silver, energy commodities such as oil and natural gas, an agricultural commodity such as cotton and rice, etc. supply and demand generally drive the commodity market. Higher demand leads to higher prices and vice-versa.

The commodity is widely used as a hedge against inflation, although it provides benefits like portfolio diversification, and it offers protection during inflation and at times of economic uncertainty. The commodity market can give profitable returns with huge swings in prices. We offer lower trade margins, which can be low as 5 to 10 % of the total value of the contract, which is lower compared to any other asset class.

Commodities are traded on many exchanges, and by opening an account with a broker, you can trade the commodity market without any problem. Commodity markets are generally traded as futures contracts. Futures contracts are agreements to buy or sell an underlying asset at an agreed price and date in the future. This helps you to trade the contracts without ever owning the commodity physically.
