Commodity Investments
Commodity investments involve buying physical goods like oil, gold, natural gas, or agricultural products, with the intention of profiting from price changes. Instead of investing in stocks or bonds, investors in commodities aim to benefit from supply and demand fluctuations. These investments can be made directly through purchasing the goods or indirectly via futures contracts or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track commodity prices. Commodities can diversify an investment portfolio, potentially offering protection against inflation and market volatility, but they also carry risks related to price volatility and global economic conditions.
