Commodities markets are the oldest markets in history, dating back to the Sumerians in around 4500BC
Commodity markets exist to meet the needs of commodity producers and manufacturers for materials. Traders trade on price movements in commodity cycles.
Commodity prices are determined by a number of factors including supply and demand, geopolitics and even the weather. Many commodities are traded physically, but also via derivatives like futures and options, where traders speculate on their potential future price.
