Commodity CFDs

A Contract For Difference (CFD) is a derivative that allows trading to take place on the value of an underlying instrument without ever actually holding the physical asset. Commodity CFDs, therefore, are derivatives of the world’s largest commodity futures contracts.

ForexTrading.com offers trading in 20 of the world's most traded commodity contracts.

Why trade Commodity CFDs?

• They can be a more flexible way of trading commodities than futures for retail traders because the lot sizes, that is, the number of units per contract, are smaller.
• They may be short sold, so it’s possible to trade in both rising and falling markets, and any potential profit may be made whichever the market direction.
• They are leveraged instruments, or they 'trade on margin', meaning you may open trades in sizes multiple times larger than the funds you have in your account.
• They are cash settled each month, meaning there’s no chance of 25 barrels of crude oil landing on your doorstep!

Risk Warning

Trading in leveraged instruments such as CFDs, also called margin trading, carries a high level of risk to your capital with the possibility of losing more than your initial investment and may not be suitable for all investors.
