commodity market
Raw materials exchange
A commodity market is a marketplace where raw materials and primary goods are bought and sold—things like oil, wheat, gold, coffee, and natural gas.
Trading occurs either through physical exchanges or electronically, with prices set by supply and demand.
Participants include producers hedging against price swings, speculators betting on future values, and end users securing supplies: Copper prices surged on the commodity market.
