Commodities
Metals, energy, and agriculture , the physical economy, priced daily.
Commodities respond to a different set of forces than equities: supply, weather, transport, storage, and geopolitics. A pipeline outage, a dry season, or a shipping bottleneck can reprice a benchmark within hours, with no earnings call to explain it afterwards. For some investors that makes commodities a source of return that behaves unlike company profits; for others it is simply the most direct way to express a view on the real economy. Both need the same thing from you: an understanding of what the contract is actually tracking.
How commodity exposure works
A spot instrument tracks the current market price of the commodity itself. It is the simplest form of exposure and behaves closest to the headline price you see quoted in the news.
Most commodity markets are priced through futures , standardised contracts for delivery on a specific date. Trading these means you are tracking a particular contract month, not an abstract price.
Because each futures contract expires, exposure moves to the next month as expiry approaches. If the next contract is more expensive, that difference works against a held position, and vice versa. It is a structural cost worth understanding before holding for long periods.
ENARA instruments are cash-settled. No barrels, bushels, or bullion arrive: a position closes into cash at the prevailing price difference.
Typically for diversification , returns driven by supply and demand for physical goods rather than corporate earnings , and because some commodities have historically shown sensitivity to inflation. Neither is dependable, and neither should be treated as protection. Nothing here is investment advice.

Questions
Instruments shown are illustrative examples of widely traded benchmarks.
No. These are cash-settled instruments tracking price; there is no physical delivery of barrels, bushels, or bullion.
Both are crude-oil benchmarks. WTI references US production and pricing, Brent references North Sea crude and is more widely used as a global reference. They usually move together, but the gap between them widens and narrows with regional supply conditions.
Certain commodities have historically shown some relationship with inflation, but this is inconsistent across periods and should not be treated as protection. Nothing here is investment advice.
Supply shocks, weather, storage constraints, transport disruption, and geopolitics can all reprice a market within hours, and physical markets cannot adjust supply quickly in response.
Commodity sessions run roughly from Sunday evening to Friday evening GMT with a short daily break, and metals, energy, and agriculture differ slightly. See Market Hours & Events for indicative times.
