Morphology
The meaning is transparently built from 'commodity' (raw materials/primary products) plus 'market' (place/system for buying and selling), so it straightforwardly denotes a market where commodities are traded. This compositional pattern is common and cross-linguistically regular, meaning a B1 learner who knows both words should be able to infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Commodities market comes from old town markets where farmers and traders brought basic goods, called commodities, like grain, oil and metal, to sell. That's why today a commodities market means a place where people 'buy and sell' these basic goods, often agreeing to trade them later.
