What are commodity CFDs?
Commodity CFDs are an efficient way to trade on the rising (or falling) prices of raw materials like gold, oil, natural gas and coffee - without owning the asset directly. This means you can trade on the price movements or performance of commodities without needing to own them outright - which allows you to go long or short and potentially benefit from either rising or falling markets. We offer both rolling and future contracts on our commodity CFDs.
Typical commodity spreads
Trade the rise (or fall) of prices of raw materials like gold, oil, natural gas and coffee.

Commodity FAQs
How do I trade commodity CFDs?
Commodity (or ‘commodities’) CFD trading is possibly the oldest form of CFD trading – especially as futures. They allow you to trade on the performance of commodities instead of directly owning the assets.
Commodity CFDs refer to buying, selling and trading on the performance of commodities that are mined or drilled (such as oil, gold & gas) and soft commodities that are harvested (such as coffee & sugar).
Major commodity groups include: Precious Metals (like gold, silver and platinum), agriculture (like coffee and cocoa), and energies (like Brent Crude oil, WTI oil and natural gas).
What precious metal CFDs do you offer?
We offer CFDs on gold, silver and more on our Commodities page. Precious metals such as gold and silver can be considered one of the first ever traded commodities. Investors and traders generally view gold as a safe haven during economic, political or social uncertainty due to their relatively stable demand and the world’s limited supply.
How are our precious metals priced?
The units of measure for precious metals are troy ounces. Please refer to the market specifications for precious metals to see the contract sizes for precious metals (like gold) against the US dollar.
What are CFD futures & how do I trade them?
Trade future CFDs to speculate or hedge on the price direction of a security, a commodity or other financial instruments. By purchasing a futures contract, the buyer agrees to buy an asset at a predetermined price at a specified time in the future.
When trading a futures CFD you are speculating on the price of that futures contract.
When can I trade metals?
Precious metal markets open at (18:00:00 New York time (i.e., 22:00:00 GMT) and you can make trades on XAUUSD, XAGUSD, XPTUSD, XAUEUR and XAGEUR via our trading platforms from 10 seconds after markets open at 18:00:10 NY time (22:00:10 GMT). This is because market participants are often 'guessing' where the price should be in the first few seconds, and some will quote wildly wide prices, while others will chose to wait for someone else to start pricing before they do. Generally, this price discovery process calms down within a few seconds. 10 seconds after the open, our systems can accurately aggregate prices from multiple reputable sources, cross-reference the pricing, and eliminate any potential discrepancies, ensuring that you have the most precise price to base your decisions on.
Our platform invests in cutting-edge technology and data verification methods to provide traders with the most precise and trustworthy pricing information available in real-time. Opening trading from 18:00:10 NY time (22:00:10 GMT) also ensures that even in the busiest or most volatile trading scenarios, all traders receive the most accurate and fair pricing information possible, maintaining market integrity.
