Commodities are typically sorted into four broad categories: metal, energy, livestock and meat, and agricultural products. Commodities are considered risky investments because the supply and demand of these products are affected by events that are difficult to predict, such as weather, epidemics, and natural and human-made disasters. There are many ways to invest in commodities, including futures contracts, options, and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
