What are Commodities?

Commodities are valuable raw materials traded in global markets. They fall into two broad categories: hard and soft commodities. Hard commodities are natural resources, such as gold, silver, oil, or natural gas that are mined or extracted. Soft commodities, on the other hand, are agricultural products or livestock, like coffee, soybeans, cotton, or sugar.

With a Vantage live trading account, you can try trading commodities via Contract for Differences (CFDs).

Types of Commodities

Vantage provides you the opportunity to diversify your trading portfolio with access to precious metals, various forms of energy and soft commodities.

  • Metals

    Precious metals, like gold and silver, are rare, naturally occurring elements that have high economic value. The price of these metals can offer insight into the health of an economy because they are viewed as a relative safe haven during tough economic conditions.

  • Energy

    Energy trading involves the process of speculating the price movements of energy commodities like crude oil and natural gas.

  • Soft Commodities

    Soft commodities are affected by external factors like weather conditions, which can make their prices volatile. This can offer attractive opportunities for traders, both long-term and short-term.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • 1

    What are commodities?

    Commodities refer to tangible goods that are actively traded on different commodity markets. These goods can be classified into two main categories: hard commodities and soft commodities.

    Hard commodities encompass natural resources, such as oil, gold, and rubber, which are typically obtained through mining or extraction processes. On the other hand, soft commodities are agricultural products like coffee, wheat, cotton and sugar that are grown rather than mined.

    When you trade commodities, you're buying or selling these raw materials in a marketplace, whether to hedge against price fluctuations or speculate on future price movements. Commodity trading offers a way for traders to diversify investment portfolios. Both hard and soft commodities can be traded via CFDs with Vantage.
