If You Are Thinking of Commodity Trading, You Should Learn About Futures

Commodity trading in Singapore is not a new thing at all. The whole trading system has been available for more than a decade and yet many people are still unaware of commodity trading. The financial consumers here are more focused onto trading in stocks and bonds, which explains why futures have always been largely neglected. What is commodity trading?

The term "Commodity" merely means that it is a particular good that is demanded by a market. It can be rice, pork's belly, gold and etc. When you are trading in commodities, you are actually trading in these types of goods. Does that mean you as an investor actually have to bring in these goods in its actual form by buying them and reselling them to the next party for a profit? No. In order for you as an investor to participate in the commodities market efficiently without the hassle of buying the actual stock of the commodities, you only buy the contracts. Such contracts are also known as "Futures".

Therefore if you want to engage in commodities trading, all you have to do is to open an account with a brokerage and trade in the futures contract representing the actual good.

Why is there a need to buy futures? Let's take a look at this example. A gold miner will be able to deliver one hundred unit of gold in six months time. On his part, he is afraid that the price of gold is going to fall six months later as compared to the price of gold right now. Due to his mindset, he will hope to sell off the hundred unit of gold at the current price.

It is because he believes that the price now is higher than the price in six months' time. With no actual goods to sell off now, he decides to structure and sell off a gold future. Now, at this moment, you come into the picture and decide that gold's price is going to be higher in six months' time. Due to your totally different mind set from the gold miner, you decide to buy the gold from him at the current price and hope to sell it off at a higher price in the future. You buy the futures, and the gold miner is happy with the price he secured. The price of gold goes up in six months' time and you sold it off for a profit.

That is a very simple example but it allows you to understand the basic mechanism behind future trading. Futures trading are especially interesting because you will have to understand the factors that are affecting the production of a commodity, political issues, international trading regulation and etc. It is an exciting form of trading that is especially suitable for the above average investors.
