Commodity prices are affected by local conditions, global events, industrial conditions, and weather. Weather and environmental changes impact crop production and harvesting whereas oil prices are impacted by industrial conditions and global macros, supply, and demand. When traders trade in the commodity, they must have market conditions, microeconomic and macroeconomic factors.
