Why commodities here

Hard assets, honest pricing

Gold, silver, and energy — the classic hedges and movers, quoted with the same transparency as our FX book.

  • Spreads from 0.02 pts

    Metals and energy priced off deep futures liquidity, with the full cost on the ticket — never buried in the fill.

  • The monetary metals

    Gold and silver against the dollar — the instruments traders reach for when rates, inflation, or risk sentiment turn.

  • Market access, varies

    Metals trade nearly 24 hours on weekdays; energy follows its exchange calendar. Session times sit on every instrument page.

  • An auditable method

    Roll dates, storage-linked financing, and spread construction are documented in the Markets Method — nothing implied.

Commodities primer·6 short cards

What a futures roll is

Futures contracts expire on a schedule. Holding a position means rolling from the front month to the next; the broker price-adjusts so the chart stays continuous.

Contango vs backwardation

Contango: far months trade above spot — long rollers pay each cycle. Backwardation: far months trade below spot — long rollers receive. Storage costs and yields drive the curve.

Weekend gold

Spot metals trade Sun 22:05 UTC to Fri 21:00 UTC. Closing the week below a support level can gap on the Monday open.

Storage and quality

Commodities have grade and delivery rules built into the contract — WTI vs Brent isn't just two oils, it's two delivery points with different sulphur and gravity specs.

Supply shocks

Weather, geopolitics, and inventory reports move commodity prices in step changes rather than drift. Tight stops are easier to take out than to keep.

Quanto vs non-quanto

USD-denominated commodities expose you to USD direction. A non-quanto CFD passes the FX move through to your P&L; a quanto CFD strips it out for a small premium.

FAQ·4 questions

  • How much leverage do commodities get?

    Retail caps depend on the instrument — gold is commonly 1:20, other commodities 1:10. The platform shows your available leverage per instrument before you trade.

  • When do commodities trade?

    Spot metals quote nearly 24 hours on weekdays with a short daily break. Energy and agricultural contracts follow their exchange calendars — exact hours are listed on each instrument page.

  • How does overnight financing work on metals?

    Spot gold and silver carry a daily swap reflecting the interest-rate and lease-rate differential — typically a small debit for longs. It can flip sign when rates move, and triple-roll days cover the weekend.

  • What does one lot of gold represent?

    One standard lot of XAU/USD is 100 troy ounces, so a $12 move per ounce is $1,200 per lot. Fractional lots let you size far smaller — the calculators do the math for your account.

Example·For illustration only

Sell XAU/USD at 2412.40, target 2400.40 (a 12.00 USD move per ounce) on 100 oz — before financing.

Costs

Three costs, all on the table

Everything you pay to hold a commodities position — quoted live on gold, our reference metal.

Reference · XAU/USD

  • Spread0.1–0.2 pts

    The bid/ask difference — tightest on gold during the London–New York overlap, wider when liquidity thins.

  • Overnight swap5.1 / -5.8 pts

    A daily credit or debit for holding past the roll, set by the rate and lease-rate differential — long versus short.

  • CommissionSpread-only

    No separate commission on standard accounts — the spread is the cost. Raw-spread accounts price commission per side, entity-specific.
