Important
- Swaps values may be adjusted daily based on market conditions and rates provided by our Price Provider applicable to all open positions. Triple swaps are applied every Wednesday on Metals and every Friday on Commodities.
- Server Times: Winter: GMT+2 and Summer: GMT+3 (DST) (last Sunday of March and ends last Sunday of October).
- During the time period from 23:55 to 00:05 server time increased spreads and decreased liquidity can take place due to daily bank rollover. In case of inadequate liquidity/spreads during bank rollover, widened spreads and excessive slippage may occur. Therefore orders may not be executed during these times.
- All of our CFDs are “Rolling spot”, which never expire. They follow the same rules applied to the FX currency pairs with only one exception: the margin required to open a position is usually fixed to 1%.
What is Commodities Trading?
Commodities trading involves buying and selling natural resources and raw materials such as gold, silver and oil. These essential goods play a crucial role in global economies and their prices are influenced by factors like supply and demand, geopolitical events and economic conditions.
Instead of owning physical commodities, traders can speculate on price movements through financial instruments like CFDs. With CFD trading you can take advantage of both rising and falling prices, hedge against market risks and trade with leverage to maximize your market exposure.
At Key to Markets, you can trade CFDs on a wide range of commodities with ultra-fast execution, competitive trading conditions and a seamless trading experience on MT4 and MT5 platforms.
