Why should one trade in commodities?

This was the question that I asked previously and for the traders or the investors that don’t know the reason can get the understanding through this.

For the traders or the individual that has guessed the answer can cross-check the answer.

Mainly, the traders or the investors can be used for the purpose of hedging.

Physical delivery and the cash settlement are applied to the commodities.

All the things for making the physical settlement are compulsory in the commodities and this happens under the eye of SEBI.

When making any of the trades in commodities you need to be aware of the term mark to market settlement as the prices of commodities are volatile.

 Every trading session overs in the particular day, the difference is to be calculated with the agreed price.

If the price is moved in your favour then the difference will be credited to the account and vice versa if it is not in the favour then the difference will be debited.

This process of adjusting the prices is stated as the mark to market settlement.

Benefits of Trading in Commodity Market

  • Risk Management
  • For Mitigating Risk
  • It helps in Price Discovery

How to trade in NCDEX in India?

The trader or the investor can trade in both the exchanges for the commodity market can be on MCX or NCDEX.

In this, the trading of commodity market is different from the equity futures market.

The trader who had long the position in the commodity can treat this as a trading position and can sell out or another way to take the physical delivery of the commodity.

The trader who had short the position can square of the position by buying back the commodity future or can choose to give the delivery to the warehouse.

Commodity futures are used for hedging the price risk of the farmers growing oilseeds and the oil company purchasing the oil seeds etc.

Misconceptions about the Commodity Market:

  • Offers poor quality of commodities
