Commodities trading has been a cornerstone of global markets for centuries, connecting producers and consumers through the buying and selling of raw materials. Today, it remains a powerful opportunity for traders seeking diversification and risk management.

At NAJM Capital, we make it simple to trade commodities online with competitive pricing, advanced platforms, and secure execution. Whether you are interested in energy products, metals, or agricultural goods, our commodity trading brokers give you direct access to global markets.

What is Commodities Trading?

Commodities trading involves buying and selling raw physical goods — such as oil, gold, or wheat — in the financial markets. Instead of owning barrels of oil or physical gold bars, traders speculate on price movements through contracts.

Commodities are typically divided into three groups:

1. Energy Commodities – Oil, natural gas, and other fuels.
   
2. Metals – Gold, silver, platinum, and industrial metals.
   
3. Agricultural Commodities – Wheat, coffee, sugar, and more.

Why Trade Commodities?

Traders choose commodities because they:

• Diversify Portfolios – Reduce reliance on only forex or stocks.
  
• Hedge Risk – Use safe-haven assets like gold during market uncertainty.
  
• Leverage Volatility – Commodity prices often move with supply-demand shifts and geopolitical events.
  
• Global Exposure – Gain access to worldwide markets and seasonal opportunities.
  

With NAJM Capital, traders benefit from low spreads, leverage up to 500:1, and flexible forex and commodity trading accounts.

Commodities Markets and Factors

Commodity prices are influenced by:

• Supply and Demand – Seasonal harvests or production changes impact agricultural commodities.
  
• Geopolitical Events – Oil and gas often react strongly to global conflicts.
  
• Economic Indicators – Inflation and industrial demand influence metals like gold and silver.
  
• Currency Strength – Commodities priced in USD move with the dollar’s value.
