All goods and products subject to trade are called commodities. To explain it a little more, all mining, mineral, energy, agricultural, food and livestock products are included in the scope of commodities. In the Forex market, mineral products such as gold, silver, platinum and copper, agricultural products such as cotton, soybeans, corn and wheat, and energy products such as oil and natural gas are the leading commodity products. Supply and demand changes in the market affect commodity prices. For this reason, it is necessary to follow the usage area, supply possibilities and market demand of the commodity subject to purchase and sale.

In agricultural commodity products, many factors such as natural conditions, weather conditions, agricultural policies and government policies affect commodity prices. Another reason why agricultural commodity products are widely preferred is that there are no extreme fluctuations in prices of agricultural products compared to foreign currency and other instruments. For this reason, it is treated as a trusted investment instrument.

Mineral-based commodities are divided into two groups: precious and industrial minerals. The typical example for the former is gold. Historically, gold has been used to store value. Today, it is an investment instrument preferred by investors to protect against inflation. The second group includes industrial mines such as copper, aluminum and platinum. The value of industrial mines depends on the supply and demand for that mine, which is closely related to the strength of that sector.

Oil is one of the leading energy-based commodities. Petroleum is a product that is considered valuable because it is a scarce product that cannot be found in the world as an alternative and is used in every field. It is one of the most strategically important products in the world.

Investments in commodities can be made through forward markets as well as forex markets. There are many reasons why commodities are more advantageous in Forex markets than the stock market. However, the most important reason can be shown as the fact that there is no specific center in the forex market and that it includes all world markets. In particular, the ability to carry out both buying and selling, that is, two-way transactions, on product ranges is very important in terms of evaluating opportunities on commodities.
