Trading commodities offers a unique opportunity to diversify your investment portfolio beyond traditional stocks and bonds. Commodities such as gold, oil, wheat, and copper provide exposure to different market sectors, each with its own set of supply and demand dynamics. This diversity helps in spreading risk and capitalizing on different economic cycles.

Commodities often act as a hedge against inflation. When the value of currency weakens, the prices of commodities usually increase, thereby potentially offering protection against the eroding purchasing power of money. Moreover, commodities can offer a buffer during times of high market volatility, as their prices are driven by different factors than those affecting the stock markets.

What is commodity trading?

The Commodities markets such as Gold and Oil are popular with traders due to their trending nature and sometimes rapid moves resulting from geopolitical and economic risks and uncertainty, as well as sudden dramatic shifts in supply and demand. This potential for high volatility and large price moves combined with 24/5 trading, and generous trading conditions, has made the commodities market a place of risk and reward for the advanced trader.

What fees are associated with commodities?

Our commissions for Commodities are USD $4 per $100,000 volume traded.

Are the commodity CFDs deliverable?

No. All commodity trading is available only as a CFD, that is a non-deliverable, cash settled product.

What is the difference between WTI and UK oil?

WTI is the spot energy product that follows the West Texas Intermediate blend. Colloquially, WTI crude refers to the price of the New York Mercantile Exchange WTI crude oils futures contract.

UK oil or Brent Crude oil generally refers to the price of the ICE Brent Crude Oil futures contract.

How does commodity trading work?

Trading commodities with us is very much like trading FX. Instead of buying or selling an amount of base currency against a counter currency, you are buying or selling a number of units of a commodity against the US dollar. Commodities trade almost 24/5, have overnight financing and do not expire
