Commodity Trading
Along with the global currency exchange markets, commodity markets offer various investment opportunities for retail traders worldwide. Soft commodities such as sugar, wheat or corn have been traded for centuries, and investors’ preference for these financial derivatives is attributed to the major role they play in portfolio diversification and risk management.
Investing in contract-based tradable goods is a reliable means of risk mitigation even during times of inflation or economic uncertainty, ensuring both the contract buyer and seller against drastic price movements that may cause increased losses.
