The commodity market in India is regulated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The SEBI's primary role is to promote and protect investors' interests and ensure that the markets are transparent and fair for all participants. Additionally, it monitors the activities of brokers, exchanges, and intermediaries to ensure compliance with rules and regulations.

✔ Settlement in the commodity market takes place on a daily basis.
✔ All trades are settled at the end of each trading session. The proceeds are transferred to either party's account.
✔ In the case of derivative contracts, settlement usually occurs at the contract's expiration date when delivery is made.
A commodity derivatives contract is a financial instrument that is used to speculate on the future price of a commodity such as Gold, Crude Oil, and Copper. The contract specifies the quantity, quality, and delivery date of the underlying asset and allows buyers and sellers to hedge against fluctuations in price. These contracts are traded on exchanges worldwide and can be bought and sold for speculation or hedging purposes.
Commodity trading has the potential to offer returns and has greater liquidity which enables the trader/investors to enter and exit the position in smooth and efficient manner.
