Commodities
Metals, energy and the wider complex
Commodity CFDs follow the price of raw materials. Gold, silver, oil and natural gas are the names most people start with. You are trading the price, not taking delivery of a barrel or a bar. Contract months and inventory data matter as much as the headline price.

Two families
Metals are often quoted as a rolling spot price. Energies follow a front contract and can jump when the front month changes.

Where to go next
The commodities menu splits into the markets people actually trade, so you are not searching a mixed list.
- Precious metals for gold, silver, platinum and palladium.
- Energies for crude, Brent and natural gas.
- The broader list for softs and industrial metals when they are listed.
- Each symbol page on the desk shows the session and the contract style.
Sizing a commodity
A small price move is often a large cash move because contract sizes are built for wholesale markets.
- Read the cash value of one point before you choose a size.
- Energy spreads widen around the inventory release.
- Gold can be quiet for days and then move on a single rates headline.
- Do not hold a size you cannot add margin to.
01
Choose the complex
Open metals or energies if you already know the story. Otherwise start from this page's related markets.
02
Confirm the contract
Spot gold and a dated future are different symbols. Trade the one on the ticket.
03
Place the order
Set size from the margin shown, not from the habit of another platform.
FAQ
Will I be delivered oil or gold?
No. Commodity CFDs cash-settle the price difference in your USD wallet.
Why did oil jump while I was away?
The front contract can roll, and inventory or OPEC headlines often land outside your local morning.
Is gold a currency?
It is quoted like one, in dollars per ounce, but on this desk it is a commodity CFD with its own hours and financing.
