Here we focus on Asset Classes (Commodities).  

Asset Class - Commodities

An Introduction

Commodities are usually considered to be:

 

(1 ) Hard (pure resources that are mostly mined or extracted)

​

(2) Soft (natural resources that are grown and cultivated)

​

Commodities that are uniform across producers can be traded on a stock exchange.

​

These will typically include commodities in the energy, metals, or agricultural sectors.

​

Commodities that are not uniform across producers have other, sometimes very important, purposes.

​

Producers and manufacturers have bespoke requirements, as do consumers, for the many commodities that are bought and sold without the need to be traded on stock exchanges.​
