There are several ways to invest in commodities, including:
Commodity futures: The Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) offers a range of commodity futures, including futures on energy, agricultural and metal commodities. You can trade futures through a brokerage account or through a futures trading platform.
Commodity ETFs: There are a number of commodity ETFs listed on the ASX that allow you to invest in a range of different commodities. You can buy and sell ETFs through a brokerage account or online trading platform.
Commodity mutual funds: There are a number of mutual funds that offer exposure to the commodity market, including both actively managed funds and index-tracking funds. You can invest in mutual funds through a financial adviser or brokerage account.
Physical commodities: Some investors may choose to invest in physical commodities, such as gold coins or barrels of oil, as a way to hedge against inflation or as a store of value. However, it is important to consider the costs and risks associated with storing and transporting physical commodities.
