Trade gold, oil and other commodities

Commodities are raw materials traded worldwide, such as precious metals and energy. They react to global supply and demand and are often used to diversify and hedge portfolios.

Why trade commodities

Gold is traditionally seen as a store of value in times of uncertainty, while oil tracks the pace of the global economy and geopolitical events. This creates opportunities in both rising and falling markets.
