Commodity gainers are essentially commodities whose prices have risen significantly in the market since the last trading session. They work based on factors that affect commodity prices, like supply and demand dynamics, economic factors and other geopolitical events.
You can invest in commodity gainers through futures contracts, exchange-traded funds or commodity-focused mutual funds. The risks of such investments include price volatility, geopolitical risks and market speculation — all of which may lead to substantial gains or losses.
Commodity gainers often outperform stocks or bonds during inflationary periods. However, they can also be more volatile than these equity and debt instruments. That said, unlike stocks and bonds, commodity-based instruments do not offer dividends or interest, making them suitable for short-term speculation.
You can track daily and weekly commodity gainers online through the official MCX or NCDEX portals. Alternatively, you can also check the Motilal Oswal Research 360 platform for these details.
To find which commodities are gaining in price, you can monitor market reports, check economic indicators and track other influential events. The best way to determine which commodities are gainers is to look into the list of these commodities available online.
