Commodities Trading
Commodities are valuable raw materials traded in global markets, from crude oil and natural gas to gold and coffee. Trade CFDs on energy, agriculture and metals.
What is commodities trading?
Hard commodities are natural resources that are mined or extracted, such as gold, silver, oil and natural gas. Soft commodities are agricultural products or livestock, such as coffee, soybeans, cotton and sugar.
Energy commodities, including crude oil, natural gas and gasoline, directly affect energy costs in everyday life. Soft commodity markets play a crucial role in global futures trading liquidity.
How does it work?
CFDs on commodities cover energy, agriculture and metals products. They are traded in futures markets and derive their value from demand and supply. Supply depends on factors such as weather for agriculture and extraction costs for mining and energy.
Demand is shaped by broader conditions such as economic cycles and population growth. Metals and energies are traded against major currencies, while agriculture contracts are traded as stand-alone contracts.
