Fundamental analysis of metal commodities for a beginner

Hello everyone.

I am a beginner in the world of trading, as I am currently working on the abstract for a research project related to metal futures in India.

I hope this hasn't been asked before, but could someone tell me the crucial metrics that one needs to look up for doing fundamental analysis of the market for a metal in India?

I've a fair idea of how it works with stocks/companies, but when it comes to commodities, I'm not really sure what I can add beyond demand supply figures maybe, along with trading volumes.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
