Commodities are basically raw materials we use to build our world. People use energy to sustain themselves, metals to produce cars, jewellery, weapons and tools, and farming & agricultural products to look after their livestock, put food on the table which we buy from our local supermarkets such as Tesco, morrisons and waitrose. The global economy is essentially based on the share price of these basic commodities, hence why traders also trade commodities online.
