Complete Guide to Commodities Trading with NSB Capital

What is Commodities Trading?

Commodities trading involves buying and selling physical goods — such as agricultural products, energy resources, and precious metals — through financial instruments like Contracts for Difference (CFDs).
At NSB Capital, traders aim to profit from price fluctuations driven by factors like supply and demand, weather conditions, geopolitical events, and global economic trends.

Commodities markets are essential to global economic stability, offering opportunities for risk management, speculation, and portfolio diversification.

What Can Be Traded in a Commodities Market?

Commodities generally fall into four categories:

• Agricultural commodities: cocoa, coffee, cotton, corn, livestock (pigs, cattle), palm oil, lumber.

• Energy commodities: crude oil, natural gas, gasoline, coal, uranium, ethanol, electricity.

• Metal commodities: base metals (copper, iron ore, zinc) and precious metals (gold, silver, platinum, palladium).

• Environmental commodities: renewable energy certificates, carbon credits, and white certificates.

Why is Gold So Popular Among Traders?

Gold is one of the most frequently traded commodities due to its role as a safe-haven asset and a hedge against inflation. It tends to maintain its value during periods of economic uncertainty, offering a reliable diversification option for both new and experienced traders.

Why Do Traders Choose Commodities?

• Profit Potential: Traders capitalize on price volatility by going long or short.

• Diversification: Commodities can move independently of stocks and bonds, reducing overall portfolio risk.

• Inflation Hedge: Precious metals like gold and silver help protect against currency devaluation.

• Global Economic Insights: Commodity price shifts provide valuable indicators of global economic trends.
