A commodity could be expressed as a group of goods/assets that you may deal with in everyday life. These may include metals, energy or food items. Commodities are regarded as exchangeable in nature and alternate. These could be simply expressed as movable goods that can be purchased and sold except for money and actionable claims.

Commodities have long found their way into the Indian trading market, much before any other countries. However, foreign rule and invasion, different government systems, policies and natural calamities led to decrease in commodity trading. Presently, although there are share market trades or the stock market, commodity trade continues to gain back its importance.

• Difference in Regulation: the markets for commodity trading are known to be way more sophisticated than forex trading. Although there are regulations with forex too, there is still much scope for better implementations.
• Leverage: although both markets offer considerable leverage, you will not need to jump over hoops in forex trading to obtain it. All need to do is to fund your respective accounts with a few hundred dollars and manage thousands. Forex trading offers spectacular leverage than the commodities market.
• Exchange Limits: commodities are traded on exchange and have daily range limits unlike foreign exchange that is traded through brokers in the interbank market. You are rather not allowed to exceed limits with commodities trading.
