What are commodities?
Types of commodities
Agricultural commodities
Grown produce (soft commodities): wheat, corn, soybeans, sugar, cocoa, coffee. Their prices depend on weather conditions and harvests.
Minerals
Resources extracted from the earth, essential to industry and construction, such as iron ore or zinc.
Livestock
Farm animals raised for consumption, such as cattle or hogs.
Fossil fuels
Indispensable to the global economy: crude oil (WTI, Brent), natural gas, coal. Highly sensitive to geopolitical decisions.
Forestry products
Chiefly lumber, whose demand tracks the global real estate market.
Metals
Industrial or "base" metals (aluminium, lead, nickel), used extensively in the automotive sector and infrastructure.
Precious metals
Rare and historically regarded as stores of value: gold, silver, platinum, palladium. In times of crisis, gold protects capital.
Investing in different commodities
Gold (XAU/USD)
A flagship asset, it reacts strongly to inflation and to the interest rates set by central banks.
Copper
Nicknamed "Doctor Copper," its price is an excellent gauge of global economic health.
Oil
Its price depends on the production quotas set by OPEC and on global energy demand.
Lithium & Uranium
Increasingly popular, driven by the energy transition, electric batteries and nuclear power.
How to invest in commodities?
CFDs (Contracts for Difference)
The simplest and fastest route, offered by RaiseFX. Speculate on both rising and falling prices without owning the asset, using leverage.
Commodity ETFs
Exchange-traded funds that replicate the performance of a commodity or a basket of resources.
Shares of related companies
Instead of buying gold, buying shares in a mining company — but the share price also depends on how the company is managed.
Futures contracts
A commitment to buy at a price and date set in advance. A complex market, often reserved for professionals.
Advantages and disadvantages
Cannot default
Unlike a company that can go bankrupt, gold or wheat will always have a physical, intrinsic value.
Scarcity
Resources are finite; rising demand and the difficulty of extraction support prices over the long term.
Diversification
Low correlation with traditional equities, which stabilizes a portfolio in the event of a market crash.
No dividends
Holding gold or oil generates no regular income; you only profit if the price moves (up or down via CFDs).
High volatility
Prices can swing sharply (drought, conflict, an OPEC decision). Strict risk management is essential.
