Introduction to Futures and Commodity Trading

It is always for good reason whenever commodities have been traded since ancient times. Commodity trading is in fact older than the stock market. Commodities have always held their value and never affected by inflation. A continuous auction market where users buy or sell individual commodities, currencies and financial instruments at a specified price is termed as “futures market”.

Commodity Trading Advantages: Commodity traders have the ability to leverage their money. Commodities have material value and would not go bankrupt.

Futures Contract: You buy shares while investing in stock market. A contract is the smallest unit that can be traded in futures market. A contract specifies the time, date and place for a future delivery of certain commodity or good.

Speculators: Their mission is to make profit from changes in price and not to take or make a delivery of a commodity.

Buying: Whenever the commodity price go up, the investors buy or go long. In this case, their contract specifies a lower price of commodity than the current price and thus they make profits.
Selling: Investors sell or go short when they expect the price of commodity to decline. Buying a contract at the low price is realization of profit.
