Futures trading is the buying and selling of contracts which require you to buy or sell an item on a certain date for a certain price. Most (very close to all) futures contracts are written against commodities rather than stock.

gold, silver, copper, foods, alcohol, cigarettes, and drugs can all be used as commodity money.

The disadvantages of working for a regional airline are numerous. Starting pay is around $20-$25 per hour, but you will only get paid for hours you are flying. If you have to sit at an airport for 6 hours to wait on you next flight, you make nothing more than per diem (generally around $1.50 an hour). You have very hectic schedules, sometimes having to be at the airport as early as 4:00 am. You can legally be on duty for up to 16 hours a day. 12-14 hour days are common, and you may only be paid for half or less of the time. You can legally have as little as 8 hours of rest between duty periods. Once you factor in travel to time to and from the hotel, you may actually have as little as 6 hours in your hotel room. Job stabiltiy is another disadvantage. Furloughs are extremely common in this industry.

* No They Don't * The price of crude oil paid by refining companies which don't have their own crude supplies is almost always different from the prices of commodities in the futures markets and spot markets, which are most commonly referred by media and general public as benchmark prices for commodities. * Big processors of crude, like refineries, and crude producers usually enter into not-publicly-traded forward contracts many years in advance, for the type of oil and delivery dates and places convenient to them. * Media and the general public usually refer only to spot and futures markets prices because the exact terms of those forward contracts are not public. * The crude oil processors participate in futures markets alongside with speculators, but only to prevent potential losses or enhance profits, which is called hedging, and not to actually purchase crude from the producers. The forward prices, however, are heavily correlated with futures prices in the long term, which means that refineries contracts shadow the long term average of commodities-driven-prices for a barrel of oil. But refiners don't lock in long term term contracts for volume deliveries at the higher spot prices we all experience at the pump in the summer driving season. Their contracts reflect the long term average usage and expected prices of crude worldwide over the upcoming contract period. * But the final consumers of their products pay prices based on the daily change in market spot prices as illustrated by the $4. per gallon price on gasoline in the summer of 2008. Final consumers, unless they are large operations, generally do not have the latitude to lock in prices on products with future delivery dates.

No, it is not. A commercial bank uses deposits and loans to create money out of thin air. A commodity bank uses real money and cannot create money from nothing.

Futures contracts and forward contracts are used to eliminate uncertainty in the commodities markets by locking in a price on a good to be delivered at a later date.

Okay, a quick example follows: I make cookies and you grow wheat. Wheat is a liquid commodity in that the price changes all the time. I know that and so do you, so I go to you before you plant and offer you $7 per bushel for your whole harvest when it comes in, and you accept. This is a forward contract--a futures contract would have volume and time requirements you might not be able to meet.

The risk to you is that wheat might be selling on the open market for $8 per bushel at harvest time and to me the risk is that it might be selling for $6. The other side of that is, if it's selling for $8 I'm going to be in trouble without this contract, and if it's selling for $6 then you are. But at $7 we are both getting a fair deal.

In short, whether we have Backwardation or Contango depends on how the expected future spot prices are quantified and how the related commodity strips behave. Contango and Backwardation in Common Usage Investment professionals on financial TV channels and in newspapers colloquially refer to upward trends in futures prices as contango and downward trends in futures prices as backwardation. Contango and Backwardation in Economic TheoryIn economic theory regarding Backwardation and Contango, associated with John Maynard Keyns and John Hicks, for Contango to exist, expected spot prices (someday in the future) have to be lower than current futures prices for the same future moments, and reverse has to apply for Backwardation. Thus whether we have a contango or bacwardation depends on an arbitrary forward estimate of spot prices. For example, if we estimate that today's spot price, price at which a physical commodity is trading today, is an expected spot price someday in the future, and we see an upward trend in a commodity strip (series of future contracts prices), we see a contango. On the other hand, if the futures prices in a commodity strip trending upwards are considered unbiased estimates of the expected future spot prices, meaning they are equal, there is no Contango or Backwardation to speak of. By the way, upward trend of estimates may be a result of storage expenses.

The word 'commodity' is a noun. A noun functions as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition.

Examples:

The commodity most needed was fuel for the equipment. (subject of the sentence)

Fuel was the commodity most needed at the site. (direct object of the verb 'was')

Simple answer is Supply and Demand balance. If supply is more price goes down , demand is more price goes up. for any commodity movement get these number PIS=/=ExC , P=production, I=Import S=Stock these three represnt suppply of any commodity. Ex-Export, C-COnsumption, these two represnet demand For any year , PIS is more than ExC , then that commodity price goes down. If ExC is more than PIS that commodity price goes up. Prediction of any commodity price, you will predit it before that Supply demand imbalance. That means todays wheat or rice prices are reflection of what will happen to its supply demand in next few months rather than its current balance. I worked for India's largest commodity exchange.

The higher the population, the more the 'wants' coming from the consumer side. This in result drives and shifts the demand curve rightward, where now on every single price level corresponds a higher number of quantity demanded. Note that population is not a price factor so that's the reason for the curve shifting and not a movement along the curve itself.

A commodity is any item, such as natural gas or gold, that satisfies the needs of consumers or investors. Of course, anything that multiple people are willing to pay for and need could be considered a commodity.

Commodity money has value in itself while fiat money has value only because it is given value
