Commodities

The commodity based products offer a huge array of benefits that include offering risk-return trade-offs to investors, providing information on market trends and assisting in framing asset allocation strategies. Commodity investments are always considered as defensive because during the times of inflation, which adversely affects the performance of stocks and bonds, commodities provide a defense to investors, maintaining the performance of their portfolios.

Commodity markets have a huge potential in the Indian context particularly because of the agri-based economy. With the government's initiative for agricultural liberalization, commodities' trading in India has gained increased momentum in activities. To increase the efficiency of the markets the Forward Markets Commission (FMC), the governing body of commodities trading in India has taken several initiatives for the establishment of national level multi-commodity exchanges in India.

Commodity trading has experienced strong growth in recent years. Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) and National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX) are the two major Indian commodity exchanges.

In 2008 MCX ranked No.1 in silver, No.2 in gold and No.3 in crude oil, copper, zinc and natural gas in terms of number of contracts traded.
