-The world of [[Elite: Dangerous]] is partly one of inter-global commerce. Many stations have or need certain Commodities, and have specific buy and sell rates which allow commanders to make money on the market. These items are divided into commodity types.

-==Chemicals==
+The [[human]] populated [[Star system|systems]] bustle with interstellar [[:Category:Commerce|commerce]]. Many [[station]]s, [[Settlement|settlements]] and [[Surface Port|Surface Ports]] require '''Commodities'''. They have fluctuating buy and sell rates which allow [[Commander|commanders]] to make [[Credits|money]] on the [[Market Economy|market]]. Most commodities are transported in [[Cargo Canister]]s which require [[Cargo Rack]]s that are installed in [[ships]].
-Chemicals are the various components created for various uses in stations and planets.
-; [[Chemical Drugs]]
+Commodities can be bought and sold at any [[Station]] with a ''Commodities Market'' which is accessible via the ''Starport Services'' menu. To buy and sell [[Illegal Goods|illegal]] or [[Stolen Goods|stolen]] commodities, the commander must find a station with a [[Black Market]]. The availability of certain commodities can vary greatly per station. Generally, stations produce and consume commodities based on their [[Market Economy]] type. Commodity prices are dynamic and fluctuate based on various factors including player interaction. Trade routes and strategies can change on a daily basis, especially in areas with a high amount of player activity. The [[Background Simulation]] is directly impacted by trading.
