Commodity trading basics
Plain answers to the most common questions about commodity markets in India.
What is the commodities market?
The commodities market is where raw materials such as gold, silver, crude oil, natural gas, copper and agricultural products are bought and sold. Most trading happens through futures and other derivatives, where prices are set by global supply, demand and sentiment.
Where are commodities traded in India?
Indian commodity derivatives trade mainly on MCX for metals and energy such as gold, silver, crude oil, natural gas and copper, and on NCDEX for agricultural products. Contracts are quoted in rupees, for example gold per 10 grams, silver per kg and crude oil per barrel.
What moves gold prices?
The US dollar, interest rate expectations and real yields, inflation, central bank buying, geopolitical tension and the USD/INR rate all influence gold. In India, import duty and local demand also affect the final price.
What moves crude oil and natural gas?
Crude oil responds to OPEC+ production decisions, US inventory data, global growth and demand, and geopolitical supply risks. Natural gas is driven by weather, storage levels, LNG exports and seasonal demand.
Why do Indian gold and silver prices differ from global prices?
Global prices are quoted in US dollars per ounce. Indian prices convert that to rupees and grams, then add import duty, GST and local premiums or discounts, so the domestic price can differ from a simple currency conversion.
What does a futures contract expiry mean?
A futures contract has a fixed expiry date. Before expiry, traders either close the position or roll it into the next contract. Prices of different expiries can differ slightly because of carry costs and market expectations.
