Topic Overview
Commodities are another class of assets just like stocks or bonds and physical commodities, as well as commodity derivatives can be actively bought and sold. Therefore, commodities trading is an important component of capital markets and allows producers and consumers of commodities to hedge their exposures efficiently. Commodities trading also allows for market participants to invest and speculate on commodity prices, while providing diversification beyond traditional securities.
