I will assume you are referring to the stock market. A commodity is an investment in animals (i.e., pork bellies), precious metals, financial instruments or growing things (i.e., coffee plants). The investment is usually in contracts for fungible items of comparable quality and characteristics, not in a particular animal or batch of product.
