How does Commodities trading work?
Commodities cover energy, agriculture and metals products. These products are traded in futures markets and derive their value from demand and supply characteristics.
Supply characteristics include the weather in the case of agriculture and costs of extraction in the case of mining and energies.
Demand for commodities tends to be characterised by broader conditions such as economic cycles and population growth. Commodities can be traded as stand alone products or in pairs.
Metals and energies are traded against major currencies whereas agriculture futures contracts are traded as stand-alone contracts.
Commodity trading example
The gross profit on your trade is calculated as follows:
Opening Price
$93.18 * 10 lots = USD $93,180
Closing Price
$96.12 * 10 lots = USD $96,120
Gross Profit on Trade
USD $96,120 – $93,180 = $2,940
Opening the Position
Brent Crude is currently trading at 93.15/93.18 and you anticipate a rise in oil in the coming weeks.
You buy 10 lots (equivalent of $10 per cent move) of Brent Oil at 93.18 which equals USD $93,180
Closing the Position
Your research is correct and oil prices rise to 96.12/96.15. You exit your position by selling your position at 96.12 with a value of $96,120
