Copper 

A ductile and malleable base metal that is valued for its high thermal and electrical conductivity. Easily identifiable because of its iridescent, golden red color, copper and its alloys, have been used by humans for thousands of years.

Due to its effectiveness as an electrical conductor, copper is now most often found in related applications, including in the wiring for our homes and offices, and in the circuitry, connectors, and components that make virtually all electronic devices function.

Soft commodity

• Soft commodities are futures contracts on underlying agricultural products that are grown rather than extracted or mined.

• Soft commodities are among the oldest traded products in the world and continue to trade on listed exchanges.

• Some examples today include livestock, cotton, sugar, corn, and wheat; although various exchanges classify "soft" commodities in different ways.

Soft commodities play a major part in the futures market. They are used both by farmers wishing to lock-in the future prices of their crops and by speculative investors seeking a profit. Due to the uncertainties of weather, pathogens, and other risks that come with farming, soft commodity futures tend to be more volatile than other futures.

Crude oil 

 A mixture of hydrocarbons (molecules of carbon and hydrogen) formed from the decomposition of carbon-based plant and animal organisms that accumulated in ancient seabed and lakes, buried under high pressures and high temperatures for millions of years.

• Crude oil is a valuable resource that can be refined into petroleum products, including diesel fuel and gasoline.

• There are six types of crude oil: light/sweet, light/sour, medium/sweet, medium/sour, heavy/sweet, and heavy/sour.

• Crude oil prices are subject to geopolitical factors and events which affect supply and demand.

• You can invest in crude oil through exchange-traded funds (ETFs), options, and futures.
