COMMODITIES TRADING
ENERGY TRADING
Energy commodities are classed as products that provide energy & heat. The main players are natural gas, crude oil, heating oil, propane & coal. These commodities are traded at a standard contract size and have a minimum price change dictated by the exchanges. The current price & performance of these energy commodities are sued as a bench mark for the world economic & political development and are thus influenced by interruptions in local production. Other factors affecting prices are seasonal variations, severe or mild winters & natural disasters. The value of the dollar is also an important factor as a large percentage of oil trades use this currency.
