Commodities Trading: Gold, Crude Oil, and Silver Essentials

Introduction to Commodities Trading

Commodities are raw materials or primary agricultural products that can be bought and sold. For traders, commodities offer diversification, inflation hedging, and unique trading opportunities.

Gold

Why Traders Watch Gold

Safe-haven asset: Rises during uncertainty and crises

Inflation hedge: Historically maintains value against currency debasement

Central bank demand: Central banks globally hold gold reserves

Inverse USD correlation: Gold typically rises when USD weakens

What Drives Gold Prices

US Dollar strength/weakness

Real interest rates (nominal rate minus inflation)

Geopolitical tensions

Central bank buying/selling

Inflation expectations

Trading Gold

In India: MCX Gold futures (lot size: 100 grams), Gold Mini, Gold Petal

Globally: COMEX Gold futures, Gold ETFs (GLD), spot gold (XAU/USD)

Popular strategy: Buy gold during risk-off events, sell during risk-on

Crude Oil

Why Crude Oil Matters

Impacts inflation, transportation costs, and economic activity

India imports ~85% of its crude oil needs → INR and Nifty sensitive to oil prices

Highly volatile, offering trading opportunities

What Drives Crude Oil Prices

OPEC+ production decisions

Global economic growth/recession

US inventory data (EIA weekly report)

Geopolitical events (Middle East tensions)

Seasonal demand patterns

Trading Crude Oil

In India: MCX Crude Oil futures

Globally: WTI (US benchmark), Brent (international benchmark)

Key data: EIA inventory report (Wednesday 8:00 PM IST)

Crude Oil and Indian Markets

Rising crude → Inflation fears → Nifty weakness

Falling crude → Positive for Indian economy → Nifty support

Oil marketing companies (IOC, BPCL, HPCL) directly impacted

Silver

Silver's Dual Nature

Precious metal: Safe-haven properties (like gold)

Industrial metal: Used in electronics, solar panels, medical equipment

More volatile than gold, with higher percentage moves

What Drives Silver Prices

Gold prices (silver often follows gold)

Industrial demand (especially green energy/solar)

USD strength/weakness

Investment demand

Mine supply

Trading Silver

In India: MCX Silver futures (lot size: 30 kg), Silver Mini, Silver Micro

Globally: COMEX Silver futures, Silver ETFs (SLV)

Gold-Silver Ratio: When ratio is high (>80), silver may be undervalued relative to gold

Risk Management in Commodities

**Leverage awareness**: Commodity futures are highly leveraged

**Extended hours risk**: MCX trades until 11:30 PM — overnight positions have risk

**Event risk**: OPEC meetings, US inventory data can cause sharp moves

**Margin requirements**: Can increase during volatile periods

**Expiry management**: Roll over positions before expiry to avoid delivery
