There are no licenses involved with the production of urea. The process they use was invented in 1920 by the German chemical combine "IG Farben" and the patent was confiscated by the United States after World War II for use in this country. You can make all the synthetic urea you want and no one will say anything.

A weekly trend is the trend of a certain security when looking in a chart with weekly time frame.

A one commodity country is a nation that depends to varying degrees on single commodities for large percentages of their total exports.

Commodity money is a good that can be used as a medium of exchange or for some other purpose. Apex

There are two groups of "target consumers" in the commodities market.

The first is the companies that use those commodities, and certainly the list of companies changes depending on the commodity in question. Companies that use sugar and wheat probably don't use lead. Or, at least, you'd hope they don't.

The other group are investors who attempt to profit by purchasing commodities futures then selling them to users before the settlement date. This is a good way to lose your shirt, because there is no guarantee you're going to make money.

Let's throw out a real quick example: You are a baker and are buying wheat futures, as all large bakeries do. You use 10,000 bushels of wheat per month, so once a year you buy 24 wheat futures contracts--a wheat futures contract is for 5,000 bushels of wheat, so you buy two contracts per month. Your March 2012 contracts closed today at 767.0--$7.67 per bushel. Now you know that wheat will show up at your milling plant in March 2012 and it's going to cost $7.67 per bushel. Now, most of the risk has been taken out of the equation. (You will also buy futures for the other ingredients in your products.)

I am a speculator. I decide to buy a wheat futures contract. This is a bet that needs two conditions to come true to make money: that the "spot price" of wheat--what you'll pay if you just call ADM or someone and order a truckload of wheat--is higher than the settlement price on the futures contract, and that when this contract nears settlement date, a user will need the wheat. (Note: the amount of wheat you get with one futures contract shows up in either seven trucks or two rail cars.) If I'm right I make quite a bit of money. If I'm wrong--and commodities speculators usually are--it's going to cost me a fortune.

The commodities market operates as a platform for buying and selling raw materials and primary goods like oil, gold, and agricultural products. Prices are largely influenced by supply and demand dynamics, geopolitical events, and economic indicators. Futures contracts are commonly used, allowing traders to speculate on price movements or hedge against risks. Market participants range from producers and consumers to speculators and institutional investors, creating a diverse trading environment.

If you're considering copper rounds as a metal play...don't. I went looking for copper bullion on the Internet, and I found a guy with a really pretty website claiming copper is the "new silver" and how copper was "real money"--you know, all the stuff you see on the gold sites, except now he's selling copper. All well and good, but the same joker is selling one-pound copper bullion for around $12 and 66 pounds of copper for over $600. Right now the spot price of copper on the London Metals Exchange is floating in the $2-$5 per pound range. Something's not quite right here.

You buy them through either a broker or a broker-dealer.

A stock dealer is like a dealer in any other product: it maintains an inventory of the product and sells it to customers.

A stockbroker arranges transactions between people who have stock they would like to sell, and people who wish to buy it. This is the person you actually buy stock from.

It is possible to own a brokerage that isn't a registered dealer, or a dealer that isn't a registered brokerage, but that's not how it's done anymore--the two functions are almost always combined into a "broker/dealer" company.

Commodity future contracts are transferable (can be bought and sold), to realize a profit or loss, but the obligation in the contract remains valid.

The only commodities that can be traded on a futures exchange are the ones that are listed on it. Barley is an example: it's not listed on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange so you can't trade it there.

AFI 21-204 requires personnel to complete specific training before handling Nuclear Weapons-Related Materiel (NWRM). This training ensures that all personnel are knowledgeable about the safety, security, and proper handling procedures associated with NWRM. Compliance with this AFI is critical to maintaining operational readiness and ensuring the safety of personnel and assets.

Commodities are basic goods, but they're products that are essentially the same from all suppliers and are, therefore, sold on price rather than any unique quality of the good.

I use wheat as an example of a commodity. All the wheat of a particular type, like hard red winter wheat, is the same. You choose to buy it from Grain Dealer A rather than Grain Dealer B because Grain Dealer A has more in stock so you can be more sure of getting any, has an elevator a quarter-mile from your bakery, or has more trucks so you can put in an order and get it quickly.

The top commodity segment in the U.S. is typically agricultural products, with corn and soybeans being among the most significant crops. The U.S. is one of the world's largest producers and exporters of these commodities, which are vital for both domestic consumption and global markets. Additionally, energy commodities, particularly crude oil and natural gas, also play a crucial role in the U.S. economy. Overall, the prominence of these segments can vary based on market conditions and demand.
