Commodities are things of value, of uniform quality, that were produced in large quantities by many different
producers; the items from each different producer were considered equivalent. On a commodity exchange, it is the
underlying standard stated in the contract that defines the commodity.
Commodities are divided on soft (wheat, coffee, cocoa and sugar) and hard (gold and oil).
