Trade Commodity CFDs
Access global commodity CFDs with competitive spreads and leverage.
Commodity Trading
Commodity CFDs are financial derivatives that allows traders to speculate on the price movements of various commodities without owning the physical asset. This can include trading on the prices of agricultural products, energy resources, and precious metals. Key commodities in the CFD market include crude oil, natural gas, gold, silver, wheat, and coffee.
CFD commodities trading allows traders to profit from price movements in either direction—rising (buying or “going long”) or falling (selling or “going short”). This means traders can take advantage of both bullish and bearish market conditions. When you trade CFDs, you’re speculating on the difference between the entry and exit price of the commodity.

How Trading Commodity CFDs Work
With CFDs, traders can predict whether the price of a commodity will rise or fall. A CFD is an agreement between a trader and a broker, which ends when the contract is closed. If a trader expects a price increase, they will buy the CFD. Conversely, if they anticipate a price drop, they will take a “short” position. When the contract ends, the trader and broker exchange the difference between the commodity’s initial and final price.
Commodity CFD Trading Example:
- if you buy a CFD on gold at $1,500 and close the trade when gold reaches $1,600, you earn a $100 profit. However, if the price falls to $1,400, you would incur a $100 loss.
- One unique aspect of CFDs is the ability to "short," meaning you can profit from falling prices as well as rising ones. This makes CFDs attractive in volatile markets. Additionally, CFDs are relatively simpler to trade compared to options or futures, and their ease of entry and exit has contributed to their popularity.
