How to Trade Commodities (Gold, Oil, Natural Gas)

Commodity trading requires an understanding of global supply chains and geopolitical events. It is a high-reward, high-risk sector for active traders.

Choose Your Commodity

Gold is a safe haven; Oil is a bet on global growth. Understand the fundamental drivers of the asset you choose.

Watch the US Dollar

Most commodities are priced in USD. A stronger Dollar usually makes commodities more expensive, leading to price declines.

Monitor Inventory Reports

For Oil and Gas, weekly inventory reports (like the EIA in the US) can cause massive, instantaneous price swings.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

/Over-leveraging on volatile oil moves
/Ignoring the impact of seasonal demand
