commodities exchange
Goods futures market
A commodities exchange is a marketplace where raw materials and agricultural products are bought and sold—wheat, oil, gold, coffee, cattle.
Trading happens through standardized contracts for future delivery, allowing producers to lock in prices and speculators to bet on price movements: Chicago's commodities exchange sets global grain prices.
