Commodity trading occupies a central place in the global economic system because it deals with essential goods such as agricultural produce, metals, and energy resources that directly affect food security, industrial production, and the cost of living. Unlike many financial assets, commodities have a tangible and immediate impact on society. Price movements in wheat, crude oil, or pulses can influence inflation, livelihood of farmers, and access to basic necessities. For this reason, there is a compelling need for specialized ethics in commodity trading that goes beyond general business morality. The interconnectedness of spot markets, futures exchanges, and derivative instruments like options creates opportunities for sophisticated strategies, but also increases the risk of manipulation, excessive speculation, and systemic instability. The need for specialized ethics arises primarily because commodity markets serve a dual function: they facilitate price discovery and provide a mechanism for risk management through futures and options contracts. Hedgers such as farmers, mining companies, and manufacturers use futures to lock in prices and reduce uncertainty. Speculators and arbitrageurs provide liquidity and help in efficient price formation. However, if speculative activities dominate without ethical boundaries, the market can deviate from its fundamental purpose. Artificial price inflation, hoarding, or dissemination of false information can distort supply-demand signals, harming producers and consumers alike. Therefore, ethical standards tailored to commodity trading must ensure that profit-seeking behavior does not undermine market stability and public welfare. One major ethical issue in commodity trading is price manipulation. Traders with significant market power may attempt to corner the market by accumulating large positions in futures contracts and controlling deliverable supply in the spot market. Such practices can create artificial scarcity and inflate prices. This is particularly harmful in agricultural commodities where vulnerable populations are affected. Ethical norms must prohibit deliberate distortion of prices
