Commodity Index for Beginners
A commodity Index tracks the price of various types of commodities. A commodity index can track the price of commodities in the spot market or in the futures market. A commodity index is traded like any other indices and allows investors to invest in commodities without purchasing or storing the commodity itself. A commodity index can be grouped into subcategories such as energy, metals, agriculture, livestock, etc.
