This paper constructs daily measures of the real interest rate and expected inflation using commodity futures prices and the term structure of Treasury yields. We find that commodity futures markets respond to surprise increases in the federal funds rate target by raising the inflation rate expected over the next three to nine months. There is no evidence that the real interest rate responds to surprises in the federal funds target. The data from the commodity futures markets are highly volatile. We show that one can substantially reduce the noise using limited information estimators such as the median change. Nevertheless, the basket of commodities actually traded daily is quite narrow and we do not know whether our observable rates are closely connected to the unobservable inflation and real rates that affect economy-wide consumption and investment decisions.

Stock and commodity exchanges can benefit from various sources of revenue, ranging from fees charged through the purchasing and selling of stocks and commodities to the listing of companies on exchanges with IPOs. Yet, this hasn't meant exchanges have been free of challenges, with many companies looking to more attractive overseas markets in countries like the US that embrace stronger growth. The most notable culprits have been ARM and CRH, refusing to put up with the increasingly cheaper valuations offered by UK stock exchanges. Stock and commodity exchange revenue is expected to boom at a compound annual rate of 11.5% over the five years through 2024-25 to £15.4 billion. Boosted by the London Stock Exchange Group's Refinitiv purchase in 2021-22, the growth numbers seem inflated. The industry saw ample consolidations, aided by MiFID II's initiation in 2018. However, M&As have now decreased because of high borrowing costs. New reporting demands have bumped up regulatory costs, resulting in thinner profits. Banks, aligning with Basel IV, are pulling back on investments. Post-COVID market turbulence fuelled trades, but it's slowing down with economic stabilisation. The inflation slowdown pushes investors towards higher-value securities, boosting trade value despite lower volumes. The weak pound has been beneficial for revenue, especially for the LSEG, bolstered by dollar-earning companies in the FTSE 100. Stock and commodity exchange industry revenue is expected to show a moderate increase of 1.3% in 2024-25. Revenue is forecast to climb at a compound annual rate of 4.1% over the five years through 2029-30 to £18.8 billion. The cautious descent of interest rates from the Bank of England will slow down volatility and ensure greater business confidence in the UK. This will bring back up consolidation activity to support revenue growth, reviving the digital information and exchange markets. The most pressing concern for the industry will be potential limitations on access to the EEA for the clearing segment of the industry, which could shatter short-term growth and keep the tap running for companies exiting UK exchanges.

Commodity Trading Services Market Outlook

The global commodity trading services market size was valued at approximately USD 20 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 35 billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2% during the forecast period. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for various commodities, technological advancements, and the globalization of trade, which have collectively fueled the expansion of trading services.

One significant growth factor for the commodity trading services market is the expanding global demand for energy resources. As countries strive to meet their energy needs, the trading of commodities such as oil, natural gas, and renewables has intensified. The energy segment remains a pivotal part of the commodity trading market, driven by expanding industrial activities, urbanization, and rising energy consumption in emerging economies. This upsurge in demand necessitates efficient trading services to manage supply chains, price volatility, and risk management, thereby propelling market growth.

Another driving force is the increasing adoption of advanced technologies in trading platforms. The integration of artificial intelligence, blockchain, and big data analytics has significantly enhanced the efficiency and transparency of trading activities. These technologies offer robust solutions for risk management, predictive analysis, and automated trading, which not only streamline operations but also boost trader confidence. Consequently, the incorporation of such cutting-edge technologies is expected to sustain the growth momentum of the commodity trading services market throughout the forecast period.

Moreover, globalization and the liberalization of trade policies have dismantled numerous barriers, leading to an interconnected global marketplace. With cross-border trade becoming more seamless, the demand for sophisticated trading services that can navigate the complexities of international regulations and compliance has escalated. This global interconnectivity ensures that commodities are traded efficiently across regions, meeting the demand-supply dynamics in various markets, and thus contributing to the market's positive outlook.

In the realm of commodity trading, the role of Commodity Trading, Transaction, and Risk Management (CTRM) Software has become increasingly pivotal. This software provides traders with comprehensive tools to manage the entire lifecycle of a trade, from execution to settlement. By integrating various functions such as trade capture, risk management, logistics, and accounting, CTRM software enhances operational efficiency and accuracy. This integration is crucial in today's fast-paced trading environment, where the ability to quickly adapt to market changes can significantly impact profitability. The adoption of CTRM software is driven by the need for real-time data, improved decision-making, and compliance with regulatory requirements, making it an indispensable asset for modern trading firms.

Regionally, North America and Asia Pacific are set to dominate the commodity trading services market. North America's mature market, coupled with its technological prowess and strong financial markets, makes it a significant player. Meanwhile, Asia Pacific is witnessing rapid growth due to industrial expansion, urbanization, and increasing energy consumption. The region's burgeoning economies, such as China and India, are major contributors to this growth, driving the demand for efficient commodity trading services.

Type Analysis

The commodity trading services market is segmented by type into energy, metals, agriculture, and others. The energy segment, comprising oil, gas, and renewables, holds a substantial market share due to the ever-increasing global energy demand. This segment is witnessing significant growth as nations strive to secure energy supplies amidst fluctuating prices and geopolitical tensions. The trading of energy commodities requires sophisticated services for risk management and price hedging, driving the need for advanced trading solutions.

The metals segment includes precious metals like gold and silver, as well as industrial metals like copper and aluminum. T

The dataset contains daily price ranges calculated from the daily high and low prices for Chicago Wheat, Corn, and Oats futures contracts, starting in 1877. The data is manually extracted from the ``Annual Reports of the Trade and Commerce of Chicago'' (today, the Chicago Board of Trade, CBOT, which is part of the CME group).

The price range is calculated as Range_t = ln(H_t) - ln(L_t), where H_t and L_t are the highest and lowest price observed on trading day t.

Description of the dataset:

• Date: The trading day, format dd-mm-yyyy
• Range_W_F1: Price range Wheat futures, First expiration (nearby contract)
