Commodity Spread Trading – Take Advantage of the Seasonality

Are you looking for a smarter, lower-risk way to trade commodities?

Everyone has seen the movie "Trading Places" at least once in their life; after all, it’s a must during the Christmas holidays. The trade on pork bellies at the beginning; the orange juice report, with which the two starring actors, Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy, take revenge on the Duke cousins… priceless!

Wheat, coffee, orange juice… not only can you use them to prepare a delicious breakfast, but you can also trade them for a profit. Commodity trading is among the most fascinating approaches, offering advantages that no other market can match: seasonality, correlations, and many other aspects which offer distinctive benefits.

Spread trading represents the optimal approach to commodity trading and provides an excellent opportunity to diversify your portfolio while significantly reducing risks. Balancing, covering, and protecting your portfolio should be every trader's primary objective.
