WHAT IS GOLD/SILVER TRADING

Commodities trading involves the buying and selling of raw materials or primary goods that are used in the production of other goods or services. These commodities can include energy products (such as crude oil, natural gas), metals (such as gold, silver, copper), and other raw materials (such as lumber).

Commodities trading can occur in several forms, including futures contracts, and spot transactions. Futures contracts are agreements to buy or sell a specific quantity of a commodity at a predetermined price on a future date. Spot transactions involve the immediate exchange of commodities for cash.

Commodities trading serves several purposes, including hedging against price fluctuations, speculating on price movements to earn a profit, and providing liquidity to markets. It plays a crucial role in global economic activity by facilitating the efficient allocation of resources and managing risks for producers, consumers, and investors in various industries.
