What is commodity price volatility?
In commodity exchange markets, the volatility of prices for different traded products is explained by a difference between supply and demand. This level between supply and demand is impacted by several factors that should be considered. On the supply side, several factors are involved:
- Weather conditions
- Rising costs
- Geopolitical situation
- Low inventory levels
On the demand side, it varies according to different criteria:
- Global-scale demand increase
- Speculation
On a daily basis, the value of traded commodities can therefore vary to a greater or lesser extent depending on these different elements. When you wish to invest or sell in commodity markets, taking into account the high price volatility is therefore essential to succeed in the best possible operations.
How to manage commodity price volatility?
When we talk about commodities, we encompass a multitude of products that are later transformed for use in the production of finished or manufactured goods.
The commodities market is thus particularly vast and consists of three main categories of products:
- Agricultural commodities: wheat, oil, coffee, rice…
- Precious metals: gold, iron, nickel…
- Fossil fuels: oil, gas, coal…
All these materials are the subject of multiple transactions on a daily basis, and their value is influenced by many external factors that cannot all be controlled by market participants.
To make the management of commodity price volatility as effective as possible, it is therefore necessary to seek protection against these fluctuations by implementing an investment strategy tailored to your situation.
