One of the most important factors that experienced investors swear by is not putting all of your eggs in one basket.
In India, there are two principal commodity exchanges, viz. the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) and the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX). While the MCX is the clear leader in non-agricultural commodities like bullion, crude oil, and industrial metals, NCDEX leads in agricultural commodities trading.
NCDEX and MCX were formed and became active exchanges for trading in commodities in 2003.
