A '''commodity''' in [[economics]] is a [[goods|good]], such as [[food]], [[metal]]s or [[grain]]s, which is interchangeable with similar [[goods]], and which is available in large quantities.
Investors can buy or sell on [[commodity exchange|commodities exchanges]] using [[futures contract]]s.
More generally, a commodity is any good in a [[competitive]] [[market]].
In general parlance, a commodity is a good where the good supplied is indistinguishable from one supplier to another. A consumer, then, only considers price when making a purchasing decision. In recent years, computers have become a commodity.
