USAIn the context of US financial regulation, a commodity is typically a raw material or agricultural product (for example, soybeans, cotton and livestock). It should be distinguished from a security(soy beans, cotton, livestock). The CEA gives the CFTC authority to regulate contracts for the sale of a commodity for future delivery. The CFTC also has the authority to regulate US commodities futures markets and its participants.
