The spread between a commodity and a product (i.e. a commodity - product spread) involves the
purchase of a particular commodity and the resulting sale of the product generated from commodities of the same type.
It can also be used to refer to the trade or
traffic of a particular commodity (i.e., the stock market; again not to be confused with its second cousin the «meat market»).
Traders who adopt fundamental analysis buy and sell based upon the financial and economic characteristics of a particular company or market, such as a company's profit outlook or the demand for and
supply of a particular commodity.
