Commodities CFD Trading

Trade a wide range of commodities including gold, silver, oil, and natural gas with Exness.

What is Commodities Trading?

Commodities trading involves buying and selling raw materials or primary products that are either extracted, grown, or produced. These include precious metals like gold and silver, energies like oil and natural gas, agricultural products, and more.

When you trade commodities with Exness, you're trading CFDs (Contracts for Difference), which allow you to speculate on price movements without owning the actual physical commodity. This means you can profit from both rising and falling markets.

Commodities are priced in US dollars (USD) and are affected by global supply and demand, geopolitical events, weather conditions, and economic indicators. They often serve as a hedge against inflation and currency fluctuations.

  • Precious Metals:

    Gold (XAU), Silver (XAG) - Often considered safe-haven assets during economic uncertainty

  • Energies:

  • Agricultural Products:

    Coffee, Sugar, Wheat - Affected by weather conditions, harvests, and global demand

Popular Commodity Trading Strategies

Trend Following

One of the most popular strategies for commodity traders is to identify and follow trends in price movements. Commodities often experience strong trending markets due to supply and demand fundamentals.

Using technical indicators like moving averages and momentum oscillators can help identify the direction and strength of trends in gold, oil, or other commodities.

Hedging

Commodity CFDs can be used as a hedging tool to protect against adverse price movements in other investments. For example, investors might use gold CFDs to hedge against currency depreciation or inflation risks.

This strategy involves taking positions that will profit if your other investments lose value, effectively minimizing potential losses.

Risk Warning: Trading on financial markets carries risks. Contracts for Difference ('CFDs') are complex financial products that are traded on margin. Trading CFDs carries a high level of risk since leverage can work both to your advantage and disadvantage. As a result, CFDs may not be suitable for all investors because you may lose all your invested capital. You should not risk more than you are prepared to lose. Before deciding to trade, you need to ensure that you understand the risks involved and taking into account your investment objectives and level of experience.
