Crude oil is by far the most traded commodity in the world.

If every barrel produced was traded on the public market and sold for $100, it would translate into a $8.50 billion/day trade (actual production: 85M barrels/day).

8.5B x 365 days, $3 trillion yearly trade in a $50 trillion world economy, and this is only for crude oil.
