What is Commodities trading?
Commodities trading is when you buy or sell a Commodity such as gold in order to make a profit. Our Commodities offering covers 18 markets including Metals including gold and silver, energies including oil and natural gas, and soft commodities like corn and wheat.
Commodities 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 have made the commodities market a place of risk and reward for the advanced trader.
How does Commodities trading work?
Trading commodities with Markets Invest 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.
For example, one contract of XAUUSD is 100 ounces of Gold while one contract of WTIUSD is 1000 barrels of West Texas Intermediate crude oil.
Commodities trade almost 24/5, have overnight financing, and do not expire.
