2. Why are commodities emerging as a distinct asset class?
With the advent of commodity futures, commodities
have emerged as a distinct asset class where individual
can actually participate through the market
mechanism.
when we talk of commodities we are talking with
specific reference to commodity futures
The Big Advantages with commodity future is the
benefit of Leverage

4. How Leverage Feature play role
What do we mean by leverage?
When you take position in commodity futures, you
only pay a small margin to initiate the position.
The margin normally consists of a combination of
SPAN margin and an extreme loss margin.
In case of commodity futures this is normally around
5-6 % which gives the trader a leverage of nearly 20
times. Thus, even with a small margin investment, one
is able to take a position in commodities

5. Role of Margin in Commodity future trading
In order to contain the risk arising out of transactions
entered into by the members in various Securities
either on their own account or on behalf of their
clients,
BSE has a well designed risk-management system
which inter-alia, includes collection of margins from
the Members. BSE accordingly imposes various kinds
of margins on the Members based on their
outstanding positions in the market
COMMODITY AN EMERGING CLASS 5
6. SPAN margin derives its origin from SPAN i.e.
Standard Portfolio Analysis of Risk which is a method
for measuring portfolio risk.
In Indian stock markets, SPAN margin is also
commonly referred to as VaR margin or initial margin
which is the minimum margin requirement for
initiating a trade in the markets.

These margins comprise of 2 components which include
SPAN margins and Exposure margins.

7. Over and above the SPAN margin requirements,
brokers also collect an additional margin known as the
Exposure Margin or Extreme Loss margin
SPAN Margins for popular contracts in India
NIFTY SPAN Margin – 5%
BANK NIFTY SPAN Margin – 5%
USDINR SPAN Margin – 1%
Gold SPAN Margin – 5%

8. What is Extreme Loss Margin ?
The term Extreme Loss Margin replaces the terms
"exposure limits" and "second line of defense" that
have been used hitherto.
covers the expected loss in situations that go beyond
those envisaged in the 99% value at risk estimates
used in the VaR margin
The Extreme Loss Margin for any stock is higher of:
5%, and 1.5 times the standard deviation of daily
logarithmic returns of the stock price in the last six
months.

different settlements.
The Extreme Loss margin so collected is released along
with the pay-in.
The ELM amount applicable in respect of the
Securities is also disseminated on the BSE website

10. Nature of Commodity Future
Commodity futures are extremely liquid.
At least major commodities like crude oil, gold, silver,
mentha oil, cardamom, nickel, zinc, copper are all
extremely liquid.
Getting large transactions executed is quite simple and
does not involve too much of impact cost.
Unlike physical commodities, these commodity futures are
standardized and can be held purely for investment
purposes.
Commodity futures allow you to participate in
commodities without bothering to take physical delivery;
making it cheaper and more convenient
COMMODITY AN EMERGING CLASS 10
11. How does this happen ?.
Normally commodities are part of most inflation
indices.
For example, the inflation index has an agricultural
component and also a non-agricultural component. It
is possible to participate in the rise in price of these
commodities through futures.
Hence it becomes an automatic hedge against
inflation. In fact, among various asset classes
commodities offer the closest hedge against inflation
COMMODITY AN EMERGING CLASS 11
Commodities act as a good inflation hedge
12. What do we mean by diversification in commodity ?
You do not want your entire portfolio to be similar in
nature as the entire portfolio will underperform if the
conditions are unfavorable.
By adding commodities the overall portfolio gets
diversified as commodities have a low correlation with
equity and debt.
Also as an asset class, commodities tend to follow
distinct cycles, which make them a good diversified of
risk.

13. Commodity futures offer the benefit of simplicity and
diversification to traders. For traders and investors
used to traditional avenues like equity and debt,
commodity markets offer an attractive alternative.

14. Standardization of commodities
Unlike equities, commodities are heterogeneous
products with sub -classification on the basis of type,
quality, grade, purity etc.
By standardizing these into similar baskets,
commodity future simplified the entire process of
trading commodities into one simple algorithm.
Also when you trade commodities through the futures
route, you do not have to worry about physical
delivery, holding, demurrage etc
COMMODITY AN EMERGING CLASS 14
15. Transaction facilitation Nature in Commodity
Commodity futures are traded on an electronic
exchange where prices are determined in a transparent
manner through the forces of demand and supply.
Traders in commodities know exactly the price at
which their order is getting executed and that
transparency makes the entire process a lot simpler
and democratic.
Commodity futures are executed on an exchange
where the clearing corporation actually guarantees
each and every transaction.
COMMODITY AN EMERGING CLASS 15
16. Commodities can also be used as a lead indicator for
taking trading decisions in equities.
For example, Sterlite and copper prices tend to move in
tandem and the commodity price tends to precede the
stock price. There is a similar relationship between
Titan and gold prices.
Similarly, there is a positive correlation between the
price of crude and the stock price of stocks like ONGC
and Oil India. Such relationships can be leveraged
upon.

decisions in equities
17. There is another very important advantage in commodities
but which is not appreciated by a lot of trader.
Most of the key commodities like gold, silver, nickel,
copper, tin, aluminum etc are denominated in US$. As a
result they tend to have a negative relation with the dollar.
So effectively when you buy commodity futures you are
short on the dollar and when you sell commodity futures,
you are long on the dollar. This is more so for commodities
where the domestic price is set based on international
prices

24. Conclusion
Commodities in portfolio would definitely provide better Risk-Return
combinations.
Commodities have high correlation with Equity in India contradicting
diversification advantage in developed markets
Commodity prices in India are not Inflation Indexed.
Commodity futures offer the benefit of simplicity and diversification to
traders. For traders and investors used to traditional avenues like equity
and debt, commodity markets offer an attractive alternative.
The reasons might be that the commodity market, in terms of Volume
is not developed in India and hence investors relate it to stock market
which accounts for the high correlation between them
