Commodity market

Commodity markets are places where people trade things like food, energy, and metals. It's like a big marketplace. There are buyers who want to buy things and sellers who have things to sell. People trade different kinds of commodities such as wheat, corn, oil, gold, and silver. Prices of commodities can go up and down, just like stocks. People try to buy and sell at times when prices are good so they can make money.
