What is commodity trading?
Commodity trading is the process of buying and selling physical raw materials or natural resources for profit. This includes various categories of goods: energy (oil, natural gas, coal), metals (gold, silver, copper), agricultural products (wheat, corn, coffee) and other goods that are actively used in industry and daily life.
As with other financial instruments, the key to successful commodity trading is timing. The basic principle is to buy a product at a low price and sell it at a higher price, profiting from price fluctuations. Unlike stocks or currencies, commodities can be exposed to seasonal factors, political developments, natural disasters and changes in demand and supply making their price fluctuations more volatile.
Commodity are the key components of the global economy, and their stable demand keeps them relevant to trade in international markets. For instance, oil and gas are essential for industry, while metals are needed to produce goods ranging from electronics to building materials. Agricultural products, in turn, provide food security and play a key role in agricultural economies.

Strategies
Think through your trading
Commodity trading has its own unique aspects. You can trade not only physical goods, but also contracts for difference (CFDs), allowing you to profit from price fluctuations without having to actually buy and store products. This approach allows to work with goods, eliminating the need for storage and transportation costs.
It is important to use various strategies such as technical and fundamental analysis to predict the price changes of commodities for successful trading. Forecasting factors affecting supply and demand can significantly increase your profit potential.
