Introduction to Trading
Soft Commodities

When most people think of commodities, they think of products like gold and oil, known as hard commodities. Soft commodities are usually grown or farmed, which is why they are often referred to as agricultural commodities. Classic examples of soft commodities are coffee, cocoa, corn, wheat, and many others.

It’s not just securities and financial assets being traded on exchanges. Billions of dollars’ worth of agricultural commodities are traded each day, making it one of the world’s largest markets. The demand is always growing to keep up with the several billion inhabitants of this planet. Large producers, manufacturers and merchants rely on futures contracts to source raw goods at fixed or hedge against seasonal or supply chain risk.

The Benefits Of Trading Soft
Commodities As CFDs

Trading soft commodities using Contracts for Difference (CFDs) opens up
the futures market to the average trader interested in diversifying the instruments they trade.

Flexible: Keep positions for any duration
Unlike futures contracts with fixed expiry dates, CFDs of futures rollover at the end of the expiry date allow you to maintain your position. CFDs allow you to keep your positions for as long as you want.
Simpler: Close positions whenever you want
Exiting positions in futures contracts before the expiry date can be cumbersome as the contract needs to be sold to another party or hedged to offset the exposure. CFDs of futures can be closed whenever the market is in session.
Accessible: No special membership needed
Commodities futures are traded on institutional exchanges which only cooperate with professional clients. Trade Markets offers CFDs to both professional and retail clients.
Practical: Trade mini-lots and micro-lots
Futures contracts can only be traded in whole contracts. Whereas if you trade CFDs with Trade Markets, you can open positions as little as 0.01 of a Lot.
