Could you please elaborate on the concept of commodity derivatives? I'm particularly interested in understanding what they represent, how they operate within the financial markets, and what types of risks are associated with investing in them. Additionally, I'm curious about the role they play in hedging against price fluctuations and how they differ from other financial instruments. Could you provide some examples of commodity derivatives and explain how investors can use them to diversify their portfolios? Thank you for your assistance in clarifying this topic.

Investors can use these derivatives as a means to hedge against potential price risks or to speculate on future price movements.

Among the various types of commodity derivatives, futures and options are the most commonly traded. Futures contracts allow for the purchase or sale of a commodity at a future date and price.

Options, on the other hand, give investors the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a commodity at a specified price before a certain date.
