Commodities 101

Lesson 5 of 15 in Commodities, Forex, Bonds, Macro. Markets grade, 75 XP. Free to read, mission runs live in the terminal.

» Commodities are raw stuff: oil, gold, wheat, copper. The real economy, priced live.

» They move on supply and demand — wars, weather, output cuts.

» Often they zig when stocks zag, so they're a useful read on the whole market.

» Explore the commodities desk and see what's running.

Watching a concept is not the same as running it, so every Academy lesson ships with a live mission inside the Tapeboard terminal. This one runs on the commodities desk (/commodities). Reading is free; running missions takes a free account.
