How does Commodities trading work?

Commodities cover energy, agriculture and metals products. These products are traded on futures markets and derive their value based on supply and demand dynamics.

Supply factors include weather conditions for agricultural products and extraction costs for mining and energy resources.

Commodity demand is typically influenced by broader factors like economic cycles and population growth. Commodities can be traded individually or paired with another asset.

Metals and energy products are traded against major currencies, while agricultural futures contracts are traded as standalone instruments.
