The futures commodity contract generally tracks the movement of the nearest-month futures contract. Such products expire on a monthly basis, closing the open position and opening a new one at the price of the next month’s contract. Due to the properties of the underlying asset, traders do not pay holding costs on the contract.

Spot commodity contracts are presented to traders in the form of spot prices, using algorithms to convert underlying futures prices through algorithms. Such products do not have a fixed expiry date, but traders will be charged a holding cost daily.

Energy

* Brent oil (UK)

Brent oil is produced in the Brent region of the North Atlantic Ocean. Brent futures trading on the London Intercontinental Exchange and the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) are the benchmark for offshore oil prices. As a light crude oil, Brent crude is widely traded in futures, over-the-counter swaps, and forward and spot markets. More than 65% of the world’s physical crude oil is priced according to the Brent system. The main users are oil refineries in north-western Europe and on the east coast of the United States.
* WTI crude oil (US)

West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil is relatively common in North America. Due to the global military and economic capabilities of the United States, WTI crude oil has become the benchmark for American crude oil pricing. To unify the domestic crude oil pricing system, the United States uses the WTI crude oil contract listed on NYMEX as the pricing benchmark. There is still a gap between the price of West Texas Light Crude Oil (WTI) and the price of North Sea Brent crude oil in the US market.

NGAS

* NGAS

Natural gas (NGAS) is the third largest source of energy, second only to oil and coal. The use of natural gas is growing rapidly and is expected to replace coal as the second largest energy source in 2030.

In 1825, natural gas was first commercialized in the United States, but in the 1970s it began to develop into a major energy resource in the world. Today, natural gas is used not only by power plants to generate electricity, but also for domestic cooking and heating. The world's largest natural gas producers are the United States, Russia, Iran, Qatar, Canada, China and Norway. These countries have surplus natural gas that can be exported to other countries in the world. Exported natural gas is transported through pipelines, and can also be transported as liquefied natural gas (LNG).

Cocoa (Code:Cocoa) has been regarded as beverage consumption for hundreds of years.

Add sugar and the original powder into the fats and oils in the cocoa squeezing process. After solidification, it becomes the original chocolate. After that, Switzerland vigorously developed and promoted, thus driving the expansion of demand for cocoa raw materials.

The production and marketing of cocoa and coffee have a commonality, that is, the producing countries are mostly backward third world countries, while the consuming countries are concentrated in highly developed countries. Due to the differences in cocoa production and consumption regions, more than two-thirds of the total production is traded internationally. The United States is the largest consumer country, followed by Germany, the Netherlands, Brazil, the United Kingdom, France, etc.

* Cotton

Cotton is native to tropical and subtropical regions and is a perennial, short-day crop. After long-term artificial selection and cultivation, it gradually moved north to the temperate zone and evolved into an annual crop. Sow seeds in spring (or early summer), bud, bloom, and bear fruit that year, and complete the growth cycle. When the severe winter comes, life ends. In the life of cotton, temperature has a great influence on its growth, yield and product quality. In addition to temperature, cotton is very sensitive to light, and is more resistant to drought and is afraid of waterlogging.

Composition of cotton fiber quality Cotton fiber is a seed fiber formed by the elongation and thickening of the epidermal cells of the fertilized ovule, which is different from ordinary bast fiber. Cotton fiber is dominated by cellulose, accounting for 93-95% of the dry weight, and the rest are the accompanying organisms of the fiber. Because cotton fiber has many excellent economic properties, it has become the most important raw material for the textile industry.

The share of U.S. wheat exports fluctuates, which is affected by wheat production in other countries and the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against major currencies. The higher the value of the US dollar, the higher the cost of importing American wheat, and the more likely it is to turn to other wheat exporting countries.
