Hello traders,

Commodities like Gold, Silver, Crude Oil, and Natural Gas play a major role in global markets. Their price movements are influenced by supply, demand, and economic trends, making them a valuable addition to any trading portfolio.

Hence, at Groww, we are excited to announce that commodity trading is now available for all the Groww users. You can track, analyse, and trade major commodities like Crude Oil, Gold, Silver, and Natural Gas right from your Groww app or web.

Why Trade Commodities?

Portfolio Diversification: Commodities often behave differently from equity instruments, especially during geopolitical or inflationary events. So, by including commodities, investors can diversify their portfolios and balance overall risk.

Hedge Against Inflation & Equities: Assets like gold and crude oil tend to retain value or rise during inflationary periods.

Profit from Price Movements: Traders can speculate on rising or falling prices without owning the physical commodity.

Extended Trading Hours: Commodity trading hours start at 9:00 AM and end at 11:30 PM ( 11:55 PM for some contracts). This makes it ideal for working professionals who are interested in trading but have busy daytime schedules.
