3. INTRODUCTION
 Commodity market is an important constituent of the financial markets of
any country.
 It is the market where a wide range of products like precious metals, base
metals, crude oil, energy and soft commodities like palm oil, coffee etc. are
traded.
 Derivatives as a tool for managing risk first originated in the commodities
markets. They were then found useful as a hedging tool in financial markets
as well.
 In India, trading in commodity futures has been in existence from the
nineteenth century with organized trading in cotton through the
establishment of Cotton Trade Association in 1875.
 A commodity derivatives market (or exchange) is, in simple terms, nothing
more or less than a public market place where commodities are contracted
for purchase or sale at an agreed price for delivery at a specified date. These
purchases and sales, which must be made through a broker who is a member
of an organized exchange, are made under the terms and conditions of a
standardized futures contract.

4. Participants in commodity
Derivative Market.
 Hedgers :
 They use the futures market to reduce a particular risk that they face.
This risk might relate to the price of any commodity that the person
deals in.
 The classic hedging example is that of wheat farmer who wants to
hedge the risk of fluctuations in the price of wheat around the time that
his crop is ready for harvesting. By selling his crop forward, he obtains
a hedge by locking in to a predetermined price.
 Hedging does not necessarily improve the financial outcome ;indeed, it
could make the outcome worse.
 Hedgers could be government institutions, private corporations like
financial institutions, trading companies and even other participants
for instance farmers, extractors, ginners, processors etc., who are
influenced by the commodity prices.

5. Cont..
 There are basically two kinds of hedges that can be taken.
 A company that wants to sell an asset at a particular time in the
future can hedge by taking short futures position. This is called a
short hedge.
 A company that knows that it is due to buy an asset in the future
can hedge by taking long futures position. This is known as long
hedge.

6.  Speculators:
 Speculators are those who are willing to take risk. These are the people
who take positions in the market & assume risks to profit from price
fluctuations.
 In fact the speculators consume market information make forecasts
about the prices & put money in these forecasts. An entity having an
opinion on the price movements of a given commodity can speculate
using the commodity market.
 While the basics of speculation apply to any market, speculating in
commodities is not as simple as speculating on stocks in the financial
market. For a speculator who thinks the shares of a given company will
rise, it is easy to buy the shares and hold them for whatever duration
he wants to. However, commodities are bulky products and come with
all the costs and procedures of handling these products.

7.  Arbitrage :
 A central idea in modern economics is the law of one price.
This states that in a competitive market, if two assets are
equivalent from the point of view of risk and return, they
should sell at the same price. If the price of the same asset is
different in two markets, there will be operators who will buy
in the market where the asset sells cheap and sell in the
market where it is costly. This activity termed as Arbitrage.

 Lot size =1000grams/10grams=100.
 Bought price=18400,sold price=18412,
 Minimum price=12
 Profit=(18412-18400) * 100)-(18400*100*.0003)+
(18412*100*.0003)=95.64
