HARNESS THE POWER OF
COMMODITY CFDs

  • Commodity CFDs lower the barriers to trading the most liquid global commodities markets. The CFDs offer traders access to products from the energy complex, precious and base metals, soft commodities and grains at lower margins and smaller contact size than futures contracts.
  • CFD margin requirements are generally lower than for the underlying future, offering more exposure for less. You can use the CFDs on Gold to diversify your investments or use the CFD on US Crude Oil to speculate on the highly volatile oil market.
  • Commodity CFDs can be traded in smaller amounts when compared to the future. For example the US Crude CFD minimum trade size is only 25 barrels of oil whereas trading one futures contract is equivalent to trading 1,000 barrels. Clients can now take a view on commodity markets with less capital commitment.
