Refimprove date February 2008 Context date February 2008 A commodity swap is an agreement whereby a floating or market or spot price based on an underlying commodity is exchanged for a fixed price over a specified period. A Commodity swap is similar to a Fixed Floating Interest rate swap . The difference is that in an Interest rate swap the floating leg is based on standard Interest rates like LIBOR, EURIBOR etc. but in a commodity swap the floating leg is based on the price of underlying commodity like Oil, Sugar etc. No Commodities are exchanged during the trade. In this swap, the user of a commodity would secure a maximum price and agree to pay a financial institution this fixed price. Then in return, the user would get payments based on the market price for the commodity involved. On the other side, a producer wishes to fix his income and would agree to pay the market price to a financial institution, in return for receiving fixed payments for the commodity. The vast majority of commodity swaps involve oil . Category Commodities market econ term stub lt aliav apsikeitimo sandoris ... more details
A commodity chain is a process used by business entity firm s to gather resource s, transform them into goods or commodity commodities and, finally, distribute them to consumers. It is a series of links connecting the many places of production and distribution and resulting in a commodity that is then exchanged on the world market. In short, it is the connected path from which a good travels from producers to consumers. Commodity chains can be unique depending on the product types or the types of markets. Different stages of a commodity chain can also involve different economic sectors or be handled by the same business. http people.hofstra.edu geotrans eng ch5en conc5en ch5c3en.html A number of commentators have remarked that in the Internet age commodity chains are becoming increasingly more transparent.

unsourced date November 2007 In the field of economics , the commodity value of a economic good good is its free market Intrinsic value ethics intrinsic value under optimal use conditions. In a free market, the commodity value of a good will be reflected by its price. For example, if an acre of land can yield a net of 100 dollars loss by lying fallow , 50 dollars gain by being planted with corn, and 100 dollars gain by being planted with wheat, then that acre s commodity value is 100 dollars the farmer is assumed to put his land to best use. Currency Commodity value is of particular significance in the study of currency. For example, the commodity value of a coin is the value of the metal of which it is made. Gold and silver coins have a high commodity value, whereas fiat money fiat coins such as modern day Quarter United States coin quarters have a low commodity value. This is of particular historical relevance when analyzed in light of Gresham s Law . Debt Asset backed debt has a commodity value equal to the price of the Collateral finance collateral a loan backed by a house has a commodity value equal to the free market price of the house. Non collateralized debt, on the other hand, does not have a commodity value it is valuable only insofar as it is repaid. Investment Commodity value is an important consideration in hedging against inflation . Whereas fiat currencies can devalue, often hyperinflation catastrophically , currencies with considerable commodity value are known to better maintain their value a government can print as many fiat bills as it wants with relative ease, the same is not true of mining precious metals . This leads some investors to purchase goods and debts with high commodity value, which are inherently safer than those with low, or no commodity value, minimizing risk by sacrificing potential return.

Commodity cells are the kind of cells used in laptop s and cell phone s, as the energy storage element in its batteries. Cells that can be used by electronics manufacturers like Dell Computer just as they can be used by car companies. Production The auto industry battery consortium, USABC , set about to invent automotive batteries made from specialty cells for cars. Tesla Motors uses commodity cells to make their automotive batteries. This is why Tesla s battery is cheaper, higher capacity, more reliable, and more available than anything produced by USABC. It went into production for a fraction of the money previously spent by the consortium. Practically all commodity cells today are made in Asia mainly Japan, South Korea, and China. There is no significant production anywhere in the US. Even American battery companies such as A123 , Valence Technology and AltairNano turn to Asia for mass production.
