Why do commodities Exchange Exist?

What are commodities Exchange?

The Commodities exchange allows traders to buy and sell goods. It includes both simple goods and manufacturing goods. The function of Commodity exchange is to provide a centralized marketplace where commodity producers and commercials can directly sell to those who want them for consumption or manufacturing. Commodity future exchange connects buyers and sellers easily. It helps businesses to enhance while there is a buyer for every seller. It makes the economy much more efficient with standardized prices for a commodity. Commodities are into two broad categories: hard and soft. Hard commodities consist of natural resources that must be mined or extracted, whereas soft commodities are agricultural products such as grain, meat, dairy, and livestock. Investors use these commodities to diversify their portfolios. Commodities are considered a risky investment class.
It is affected by many uncertainties and risks, such as epidemics, natural calamities, or other unpredictable circumstances. Individuals can invest in commodities through futures, options, exchange-traded funds, and contracts. There are six major commodity trading exchanges in India:

1. Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX)
2. National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX)
3. National Multi Commodity Exchange (NMCE)
4. Indian Commodity Exchange (ICEX)
5. Ace Derivatives Exchange (ACE)
6. The Universal Commodity Exchange (UCX)

Types of commodities:

1. Metals Commodities – This includes the trading of precious metals such as gold, silver, copper, and platinum. Gold is traded by investors as it is the safest way to diversify their portfolios against any uncertainties like inflation or currency devaluation.

2. Energy – This includes commodities like gasoline, natural gas, heating oil, and crude oil. Normally, oil price fluctuates due to the increasing demand for energy commodities. However, individuals entering energy commodities should be aware of economic reforms, a shift in production by OPEC, and new advances in technology.

3. Agriculture commodities – Commodities such as soya, rice, wheat, coffee, corn, cocoa, sugar, and cotton come under agriculture commodities. These commodities are bought by the wholesaler or a firm that uses them as a raw material. 

4. Meat and livestock – This includes commodities like feeder cattle, pork bellies, lean hogs, and live cattle. The trading of livestock is not popular in India. It is mostly done in the US, UK, China, etc.

 

Ways to Invest:

A derivative Contract (Financial Instrument) is a contract between two parties for deriving value from any underlying assets. As the Price of underlying assets changes, the value of underlying assets also fluctuates.

 

The types of Derivative Contracts:

Options – Options are contracts where the buyer has a right to buy or sell a particular security at a predefined price. It is commonly known as a strike price. However, they don’t have obligation to buy or execute the option. One who executes the contract is known as the option writer.
Forwards – It has an obligation in the contract, which is unstandardized and not traded on stock exchanges. Forwards are available over the counter only and cannot de traded directly on market. However, forwards can be customized according to the parties involved. Forwards contract has third party risk. There are chances that the other party defaults in the payment or delivery of the product are not done as there is no regulatory party involved.  
Futures – This is the same as forwards, but futures are standardized and allow holders to sell or buy security at a specified price and date. Futures can directly be traded on market.
Swaps – It involves swapping of obligations between the two parties depending on cash flows which are depended on the rate of interest and agreed upon at the period while entering into the contract. Here, one cash flow is fixed and the other depends on the market interest rate and usually, these rates are swapped.

The best way to trade in commodities is through futures contracts. An agreement to buy or sell a commodity in the future agreed on a date at a pre-determined price.

 

Role of commodity market:

1. Food security – Farmers can use the future market more effectively by selling at a future price by fixing the price. This will ensure that they are not susceptible to future fluctuation in price. Hence, food security can be achieved using the commodity market. Many times commodity markets help farmers in hedging the commodity which is prone to uncertainties and risk. 
2. Agricultural ecosystem – Substantial amount of food grains are lost in the transmission process. The commodity market helps farmers, brokers, middlemen, and customers. If the food gains are not stored properly they get attacked by rats and pests.  
3. Aggregation – Currently, the middleman acts as an aggregator which is not a transparent mechanism. So, commodity exchange provides an organized and guaranteed mechanism for all the essential commodities.
4. Hedging and risk – One important role and function of the commodity market is to hedge and distribute the risk in the market.
5. Speculative excess – The commodity market absorbs speculative excess risk in the market, especially in the spot market. It helps various retail investors to participate in the new asset class.

What are Gold funds and what are the benefits?

What are Gold Funds and what are its benefits?

 

Gold funds are unique type of mutual funds, through which investors can invest directly or indirectly in Gold Reserves. They can invest in the gold producing stocks, mining company stocks or in physical gold. Gold funds are the most convenient asset to invest, without the risk of theft or paper work as they are in digital form. This fund is kind of an open ended investment, where investor can issue or redeem at any point of time based on the units which they hold. However, their price directly depends on the metal (gold). Some investors use gold funds to hedge and diversify their portfolio and protect against uncertain economic condition. Many investors diversify around 10 to 20 percent of their portfolio by investing in gold funds. Golds funds are regulated by the SEBI and it is ideal for investors who are risk averse.

Gold Mining Funds:

In this, funds are invested in stocks of the mining companies and returns depends on the performance of these stocks. However, investment does not get affected due to any fluctuation in economy as gold price is affected mainly due to the fluctuation in demand and supply of gold. Gold exchange traded funds were first introduced by Benchmark Asset Company in India. This funds basically invest in the gold through Demat account. Returns and value of the investments totally depend on the price of gold. Investment in Gold Fund of Fund is same as exchange traded funds as in this, investments are made in particular unit of the Exchange traded funds without opening the Demat account.

 

Main purpose of Gold Funds:

Main purpose for investors to invest in gold funds is to grow their investment value and create wealth in whatever period the investment is made with protection against the market fluctuation. Price of Underlying asset varies according to change in demand of gold and at the time of maturity returns are calculated on current gold price. If gold price is increased, it gives more returns at the time of redemption.

 

What are tax charges for Gold Funds?

Normally, the tax which is charged on the Gold Jewellery is applicable to the Gold Mutual Funds schemes. But, taxes also vary according to the tenure. If investments are made for less than three years than revenue is added to the total gross income and considered as short term. But if investments are made for more than three years than 20 percent tax is applicable with indexation norms and CESS charges. However, if capital gains is through exchange traded funds (Gold ETFs), tax exempt is given. No TDS is applicable to Golds Mutual funds. During the time of buying or selling of funds, same tax is applicable as on Gold Jewellery.

 

Benefits of Gold Funds:

Gold funds allows investors to invest according to their convenience, comparing to the physical purchase of the gold. Investment can be made as low as Rs 500 and even small income class can also invest in this fund rather than purchasing physical gold which costs higher than these funds and gives flexibility. Gold mutual funds are one of the safest investment as these funds are regulated by Security exchange board of India and they continuously monitors the performance of this type of funds so that investors can analyse their future returns. Gold Funds are also safer than holding physical assets (Gold) as it is in de-materialized form.

 

Highly liquid:

Gold funds are high liquid funds as investors can redeem them in short term and are also protected against the uncertain economic situation. However, during market hours only, it can be buy or sell and net asset value of previous day is considered at the time of selling and trade is offset in one or two working day. To balance the overall portfolio, investor may always choose gold funds. Gold price is not directly affected to one investor’s overall investment and stocks in which investment is made. Gold fund is considered as one of the safest investment with good returns.
