FAQs

Firstly, learn about the different types of commodities that are traded and their market dynamics. This can include reading industry reports, following commodity prices, and understanding supply and demand factors. Then, open an HFM Live or Demo trading account and choose your platform, strategy and trading opportunity. Open your position and monitor.

The price of commodities is influenced by a wide range of factors, including:

  1. Supply and Demand: The basic principle of supply and demand plays a significant role in determining commodity prices. If the supply of a commodity exceeds demand, prices may fall, whereas if demand exceeds supply, prices may rise.
  2. Geopolitical events: Geopolitical events, such as wars, natural disasters, and political instability can disrupt the supply of commodities and impact prices. For example, political unrest in oil-producing countries can lead to disruptions in oil supply, causing prices to rise.
  3. Weather conditions: Weather conditions such as droughts, floods, and hurricanes can impact the production of agricultural commodities, such as wheat and corn, and impact prices.
  4. Global economic conditions: The health of the global economy can impact the demand for commodities. During periods of economic growth, demand for commodities such as industrial metals and energy can increase, while during economic downturns, demand may decrease.
  5. Currency exchange rates: Commodity prices are often denominated in U.S. dollars, so changes in exchange rates can impact prices for buyers using other currencies.
  6. Government policies: Government policies such as trade tariffs, subsidies, and regulations can impact the production, consumption, and pricing of commodities.
  7. Seasonal factors: Some commodities, such as natural gas and heating oil, have seasonal demand patterns that can impact prices.

The most traded commodities in the world include:

  • Gold
