Soft commodities are an exciting new market that VT Markets traders now have access to through their MT4 platform. This commodity class is a robust market full of large buyers and sellers of the physical assets that back the futures market.
The term soft commodities generally refers to those that can be grown rather than mined. For example, the precious metal gold is dug up under the ground using mining equipment, while the soft commodity of cocoa is grown on a tree.
The roots of soft commodities markets can be traced back thousands of years and continue to play a major role in the liquidity of global futures markets across the globe. They help farmers to hedge their exposure against natural disasters and gives them the ability to lock in long term profits. This keeps both production running smoothly and gives speculators a chance to get involved.
