Commodity Basis and Basis Trading Information
Cash Commodities & FuturesOn CommodityBasis.com we show prices of cash commodities
worldwide.
Cash commodities are actual physical commodities that are delivered at the completion of a contract.
Because cash contracts are specific between two parties these contracts are difficult or sometimes impossible to sell onwards.
Futures contracts are financial products that are standardized for quality, quantity, delivery time/terms and location. These contracts represent the underlying value of the commodity but physical delivery is taken on less than 1 percent of all the contracts traded. Because futures markets are so liquid, they are ideal for hedging the risk that comes from a physical position.
