Commodities trading allows you to speculate on the global prices of raw materials that power the world’s economy such as gold, oil, natural gas, and agricultural products. These markets are driven by global supply and demand, geopolitical factors, and economic cycles.
At Tradin, you can trade commodities with tight spreads, leverage up to 1:2000, and ultra-fast execution under 20ms on the MT5 platform.
How Commodities Trading Works
When you trade commodities, you’re not physically buying barrels of oil or gold bars. Instead, you’re trading price movements through contracts that track the real market value of these assets.
- If you expect the price to rise, you buy (go long).
- If you expect the price to fall, you sell (go short).
Commodities are grouped into three main types: Metals, Energies, and Agricultural products.
