Major Commodity Categories
Energy
Crude oil (WTI & Brent), natural gas, heating oil, and gasoline futures. Energy commodities are among the most actively traded globally and are highly sensitive to geopolitical events and supply dynamics.
Precious Metals
Gold, silver, platinum, and palladium futures. Precious metals serve as safe-haven assets and inflation hedges, with gold being the most widely traded commodity by value.
Base Metals
Copper, aluminum, zinc, and nickel futures. Base metals are essential industrial inputs, and their prices often reflect global manufacturing activity and economic growth expectations.
Agriculture
Corn, wheat, soybeans, coffee, sugar, cotton, and cocoa futures. Agricultural commodities are influenced by weather patterns, crop yields, and global food demand.
Livestock
Live cattle, feeder cattle, and lean hog futures. Livestock commodities are driven by feed costs, consumer demand, and seasonal patterns in meat production.
Financial
Treasury bond futures, fed funds futures, and interest rate contracts. Financial commodity futures help traders hedge interest rate risk and speculate on monetary policy changes.
