Oil & Commodity Trading
Trading physical goods, not companies
Commodities are raw materials: oil, gold, wheat, copper. Oil (Crude WTI and Brent) is the world's most-traded commodity. Prices are driven by OPEC supply decisions, global demand, the US dollar strength, and geopolitical risk. Commodity prices often move opposite to stocks — making them useful portfolio diversifiers.
