Diploma in Commodities Market (DICM)
Commodities Trading is a global phenomenon and offers tremendous potential to market participants for both profit taking on small price corrections as well as to hedgers looking at managing price risk on account of price fluctuations.

In developed markets, futures trading are conservatively 10 times the size of cash market in commodities. If they consider the fact that in the US, where the futures trading is almost 20 times that of the cash market production, it would only be fair to suggest that their futures market would be a very large and deep market, easily many times more than that of the securities market.
