Commodity trading
Commodities markets, like the global exchange rate markets, offer a variety of investment opportunities for retailers in global trading markets. Soft commodities such as sugar, wheat and corn have been traded for centuries, and investors' preference for these derivatives stems from their role in diversification and risk management.
Investing in contract commodities is a reliable way to mitigate risk, even in times of inflation or economic uncertainty, ensuring that both buyers and sellers of contracts are protected from sharp price fluctuations and losses.
