Corporate Vision The History of Commodity Trading Before the world was as we know it now, trading was incredibly difficult and expensive. Then came boats, trains, planes, and road vehicles which facilitated the easier, quicker, and less expensive transportation and trading of commodities which are integral to our lives. Commodities are crucial to investors for diversifying portfolios beyond traditional securities, especially as the prices of commodities often move in the opposite direction of stocks. This usually means that investors can rely on returns from commodities during periods of market volatility, ensuring that ROI can be experienced in a more rounded manner. As commodities are sorted into the broad categories mentioned above, it is important to remember humankind’s deeply rooted economic experience whereby food, energy, and materials were harvested and traded as co-existing communities. Commodity trading has always played a pivotal role in driving economic growth through its support of various communities both past and present. This role bolsters various companies across the corporate landscape and creates an abundance of employment opportunities, while contributing to each country or region’s revenue and Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Of course, GDP is significant as a tool for traders to understand market trends in order to make informed decisions for the current moment and the future to come which is an essential part of the trading industry. Commodity trading is not simply exchanging goods, it is an industry which needs to be expertly planned, organised, and nurtured in order to take advantage of the latest technological advancements to increase global trade volume. It is a way forward for many regions as they look to trading companies and investment companies who can do it all, to build up their communities and society as a whole.
