What is Commodity Trading?

Commodity trading refers to the buying or selling of raw materials or primary goods, like metals and agricultural commodities. Unlike financial markets, where one can trade using securities like stocks and bonds, commodity trading requires you to invest in commodity. The two most common categories of commodities are:

  • Hard commodities: gold, oil, and natural gas
  • Soft goods: wheat, coffee, and sugar

A mix of supply and demand, geopolitics, climate, and economic statistics regulates these.

One may trade in commodities directly by selling and buying commodities, which usually occurs in spot markets, where commodity-based selling and buying occur with immediate delivery or through futures markets, where sellers and buyers agree to trade a commodity at a predetermined price for delivery after some time. The latter is more widely used because it has the potential to manage risk and make speculative profits.

How to Trade in the Commodity Market with IIFL?

The following are the steps to invest in Indian commodity market:

  • Choose Your Market: Choose to trade either in the spot market or using futures contracts.
  • Choosing the Best Site to Trade: After proper research, opt for a well-established broker or trading website registered with organisations such as the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). IIFL Capital Services Limited is a good option to create your commodity trading account.
  • Understanding the Terms of the Contract: Each commodity contract comes with specific terms. These are size, expiry date, and quality specifications. Familiarise yourself with these to prevent surprise occurrences.
  • Analysis and Strategy: Conduct technical and fundamental analysis prior to creating a strategy.
  • Risk Management: Use stop-loss orders and limit orders to reduce the chances of possible losses and increase possible gains.

The Process of Commodity Trading in India

Take these steps to trade in Indian commodity market:

  • Open a Trading Account: Identify a registered broker providing commodity trading services to open your trading and Demat account with them.
  • Complete KYC Formalities: Provide documents required for KYC, like your PAN card and bank account information.
  • Enable the Commodity Segment: You need to enable the commodity trading segment after you have finished the KYC verification. This can take a few hours to two days.
  • Deposit Margin Money: You are required to deposit the margin in your trading account to begin trading. The margin is different for different commodities and brokers.
  • Select Your Commodities and Make Trades: You can now proceed to trade. Enter an order on your broker’s trading interface, observe market trends in the market, and alter your strategy based on the movement in the market.

Benefits of Commodity Trading

  • Diversification: Allows investors to diversify into assets other than stocks and bonds, enabling them to invest in better-performing assets.
  • Hedge Against Inflation: Commodities have traditionally done well in inflationary times, and a hedge against inflation is offered by commodities.
  • High Liquidity: Large commodities such as gold, oil, and produce are very liquid, so they can be bought and sold easily.
  • Profit Potential: Price volatilities in commodities present a substantial profit margin in the short run.

Risks Associated with Commodity Trading

  • Highly Volatile Prices: Prices are sensitive to factors like geopolitical tensions and supply chain disruptions.
  • Leverage Risks: Trading on margin can multiply returns but also lead to significant losses.
  • Market Knowledge Needed: Commodity trading requires a deep understanding of market trends and influencing factors.
  • Regulatory Risks: Government policy changes or adverse international trade policies can significantly impact commodity prices.
