A commodity is an agricultural product, mineral, or other tangible asset that investors trade on a cash or futures basis. They include such things as gold, orange juice, arsenic, stock index futures, and zinc. Each commodity is traded on its own exchange (for instance, the cocoa exchange is located in the World Trade Center) and at general exchanges such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Prices for each commodity are set by a combination of factors including weather, supply and demand, and historical trading patterns. This volume provides analysts, traders, and portfolio managers with domestic and international information on 105 commodities. It includes both historical information and current pricing and trading patterns on a monthly and an annual basis. While electronic charting programs provide some of this information, they do so at much higher prices, and the information does not reach as far back. In addition, charting services do not offer their subscribers the opportunity to compare commodities conveniently.
