	Commodity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One can reasonably say that food commodities, for example, are defined by the fact that they substitute for each other in recipes, and that one can use the food without having to look at it too closely.
		Marx's analysis of the commodity is intended to help solve the problem of what establishes the economic value of goods, using the labor theory of value.
		Even so, in simple commodity production, not all inputs and outputs of the production process are necessarily commodities or priced goods, and it is compatible with a variety of different relations of production ranging from self-employment and family labour to serfdom and slavery.

	Commodity markets - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These raw commodities are traded on regulated commodities exchanges, in which they are bought and sold in standardized Contracts.
		Commodity money and commodity markets in a crude early form are believed to have originated in Sumer where small baked clay tokens in the shape of sheep or goats were used in trade.
		Commodity thinking is undergoing a more direct revival thanks to the theorists of "natural capital" whose products, some economists argue, are the only genuine commodities - air, water, and calories we consume being mostly interchangeable when they are free of pollution or disease.

	Commodity
		It is the contract and this underlying standard that define the commodity, not any inherent quality of it as a living organism as such.
		Some economists advise redefining every commodity and product market as a service market[?], wherein state inspections, market regulation, property rights enforcement, and other services previously assumed under classical economics to be the domain of the state, could be charged for.
		If this advice were followed, the term commodity would still apply in human life analysis, or narrow domains such as relatively safe food goods, or industrial inputs (oil, screws, wireless spectrum) where quality is more or less standard globally, and there is little risk to life of any failure.

		Commodity pools that are publicly offered, and privately offered commodity pools that do not meet the 100 beneficial owner or “qualified purchaser” exemption requirements of ICA sections 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7), should be concerned about these matters..
		For example, it could be negative for commodity futures and positive for security futures on one date (causing the pool to flunk the asset test), and vice versa on the next date..
		Recognizing that a commodity pool’s balance sheet should not determine whether it is an investment company, the SEC staff took the position that it was more important to consider the area of the pool’s business with respect to which it anticipates realization of the greatest gains and exposure to the largest risk of loss.

		The current commodity bull market has arisen from underinvestment in commodities in the 1990's and booming demand in China amidst a subdued global economic recovery.
		I endorsed a broad secular bull case on commodities based on insufficient supply: years of misallocation of resources from traditional old economy sectors to new era tech sectors had resulted in underinvestment in commodities and higher commodity prices had to materialize when global aggregate demand eventually rose.
		The uptrend in commodity prices since 2001 was justified by underinvestment, a boom in China, and the emergence of the G-3 from recession.

	Commodity Futures Facts
		If we isolate the portion of the returns of commodity futures, stocks and bonds that is unrelated to unexpected inflation and examine the correlations again, we find that the residual variation of commodity futures and stocks or bonds continue to be negatively correlated.
		In the practice of commodity trading backwardation is commonly used to describe the position of futures prices in relation to current spot prices (or to characterize the prices of futures contracts for the same commodity but with different maturities).
		Commodity futures contracts that were introduced, but later discontinued - due to lack of liquidity - are not covered by the CRB, and are not included in the equally-weighted index.

	Commodity Trader: Commodities boom raises fears (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The commodity price boom of the past three years has aroused investor attention on an unprecedented scale, with most investors placing their funds into passively managed commodity indices.

		Michael Lewis, head of commodities research at Deutsche Bank, said both the GSCI and AIG-Dow Jones index were down 5 per cent so far this year, entirely due to the negative roll yield.

		The shock and uncertainty variables are constructed using a new data set of unique aggregate commodity price indices for 113 developing countries over the period 1957Q1-1997Q4.
		The magnitude of the effect of negative shocks on growth is very substantial, and appears to work independently of investment, which suggests that adjustment is achieved through severe reductions in capacity utilization.
		Negative shocks remain highly significant after controlling for government economic policy and institutional quality, which indicates that the result is not attributable exclusively to inappropriate policy responses on the part of governments.

		Although it is true that commodity prices are likely to have begun a long wave-up cycle, which could last for a decade or more, cycles for individual commodities tend to be of far shorter duration.
		Commentators conditioned by the long 1980s-1990s trend of declining commodity prices in real terms, with the decline accelerating during periods of economic weakness, have been surprised by the strength in oil and gold prices, in particular, since their nadirs of 1998 and 2000 respectively.
