How does Commodities trading work?
Commodities cover energy, agriculture and metals products. These
products are traded in futures markets and derive their value from
demand and supply characteristics.
Supply characteristics include the weather in the case of agriculture
and costs of extraction in the case of mining and energies.
Demand for commodities tends to be characterised by broader conditions
such as economic cycles and population growth. Commodities can be
traded as stand alone products or in pairs.
Metals and energies are traded against major currencies whereas
agriculture futures contracts are traded as stand-alone contracts.
Commodity trading example
The gross profit on your trade is calculated as follows:
Opening Price
$1970 * 1 lot = USD $197,000
Closing Price
$2000 * 1 lot = USD $200,000
Gross Profit on Trade
USD $200,000 - $197,000 = $3,000
Opening the Position
XAUUSD is currently trading at $1969.00/$1970.00 and you anticipate that global economic uncertainties will likely drive up the demand for gold over the next year.
You buy 1 lot of XAUUSD at $1970 which equals USD $197,000 (1970 * 100).
Closing the Position
Your prediction on demand for gold turns out to be correct. Global economic uncertainties have caused gold prices to increase to $2000.00/$2001.00. You exit your position at $2000.00.
