Commodity Market Overview
The commodity market plays a crucial role in the global and Indian economy by enabling the trading of essential raw materials such as gold, silver, crude oil, natural gas, agricultural products, and base metals. In India, commodities are primarily traded on exchanges like the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) and NCDEX, where prices are influenced by both domestic and international factors.
Commodity prices move based on global demand and supply, inflation trends, currency fluctuations, geopolitical developments, and weather conditions. For example, gold prices often rise during economic uncertainty, while crude oil prices react sharply to changes in global supply and geopolitical tensions. Agricultural commodities are largely affected by monsoon patterns and crop output.
The commodity market is widely used by traders, investors, and businesses to hedge against inflation, manage risk, and diversify investment portfolios. Due to its direct link with real-world goods, this market offers valuable insights into economic health and future price trends.
