1. mmodity trading in India has a long history. In fact, commodity trading in India started much
before it started in many other countries. However, years of foreign rule, droughts and periods of
scarcity and Government policies caused the commodity trading in India to diminish.
Commodity trading was, however, restarted in India recently. Today, apart from numerous
regional exchanges, India has four national commodity exchanges namely, Multi Commodity
Exchange (MCX), National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX), National Multi-
Commodity Exchange (NMCE) and Indian Commodity Exchange (ICEX). The regulatory body
is Forward Markets Commission (FMC) which was set up in 1953.

Main article: Commodity market
A commodities exchange is an exchange where various commodities and derivatives products
are traded. Most commodity markets across the world trade in agricultural products and other
raw materials (like wheat, barley, sugar, maize, cotton, cocoa, coffee, milk products, pork bellies,
oil, metals, etc.) and contracts based on them. These contracts can include spot prices, forwards,
futures and options on futures. Other sophisticated products may include interest rates,
environmental instruments, swaps, or ocean freight contracts.

2. Commodities exchanges usually trade futures contracts on commodities, such as trading
contracts to receive something, say corn, in a certain month. A farmer raising corn can sell a
future contract on his corn, which will not be harvested for several months, and guarantee the
price he will be paid when he delivers; a breakfast cereal producer buys the contract now and
guarantees the price will not go up when it is delivered. This protects the farmer from price drops
and the buyer from price rises.
Speculators and investors also buy and sell the futures contracts in attempt to make a profit and
provide liquidity to the system. However, due to the financial leverage provided to traders by the
exchange, commodity futures traders face a substantial risk.[1]
