Introduction to Trading Soft Commodities

When most people think of commodities, they think of products like gold and oil, known as hard commodities. Soft commodities are usually grown or farmed, which is why they are often referred to as agricultural commodities. Classic examples of soft commodities are coffee, cocoa, corn, wheat, and many others.

It’s not just securities and financial assets being traded on exchanges. Billions of dollars worth of agricultural commodities are traded each day, making it one of the world’s largest markets. The demand is always growing to keep up with the several billion inhabitants of this planet. Large producers, manufacturers and merchants rely on futures contracts to source raw goods at fixed or hedge against seasonal or supply chain risk.

The Benefits Of Trading Agriculture CFDs

Flexible: Keep positions for any duration

Unlike futures contracts with fixed expiry dates, CFDs of futures rollover at the end of the expiry date allow you to maintain your position. CFDs allow you to keep your positions for as long as you want.

Simpler: Close positions whenever you want

Exiting positions in futures contracts before the expiry date can be cumbersome as the contract needs to be sold to another party or hedged to offset the exposure. CFDs of futures can be closed whenever the market is in session.

Accessible: No special membership needed

Commodities futures are traded on institutional exchanges which only cooperate with professional clients. Captain Markets offers CFDs to both professional and retail clients.

Practical: Trade mini-lots and micro-lots

Futures contracts can only be traded in whole contracts. Whereas if you trade CFDs with Captain Markets, you can open positions as little as 0.01 of a Lot.

Popular Agricultural Commodities

Corporations that depend on supply and price stability of certain soft commodities will use futures contracts to secure the quantities they need at a favourable rate. Many soft commodities traded on futures exchanges are affected by various risks.

Cocoa
Cocoa is the foundation of the global confectionery market, worth hundreds of billions of dollars annually, due to the concentrated growing regions and seasonal effects on production.
Coffee
Coffee is the most consumed beverage globally, yet the coffee bean can only be grown in certain climates. Most coffee growing regions are subject to political and social instability creating supply chain stability risks.
Cotton
Cotton is at the centre of the worldwide textiles and fashion industry. Although cotton can be grown in most continents, the crop can fall victim to various pests and weeds, as well as droughts.

We Offer More Than Commodities
If you want to speculate on the price of essential goods from around the world, then you’ve come to the right place. However, the soft commodity markets are only open for a few hours each day, which severely limits the opportunities you can access. You might be interested to know that you can trade other CFDs, such as Forex almost 24-hours a day.
