What is Commodity Trading?
Commodity trading involves buying and selling raw materials or primary products such as metals, energy resources, and agricultural goods in global markets. These assets are essential to the world’s economy, and their prices are influenced by supply-demand dynamics, geopolitical events, seasonal patterns, and economic trends.
Trading commodities allows market participants to diversify portfolios, hedge against inflation, and capitalize on market volatility. Commodities are generally divided into two categories:
- Hard Commodities: Natural resources that are mined or extracted (e.g., gold, oil, natural gas).
- Soft Commodities: Agricultural products that are grown (e.g., coffee, wheat, sugar).

Types of Commodity Trading
CFDs
Gain exposure to a variety of commodities without owning the physical asset. With flexible position sizing and competitive margins, CFDs make it easier to act on market opportunities.
CFD Options
Trade with the right but not the obligation to buy or sell a commodity at a set price. Options allow you to manage risk while targeting potential gains.
Forwards
Agree today to buy or sell a commodity at a predetermined price on a future date. Forwards are often used for hedging or locking in favorable pricing.
Spot Trading
Buy and sell commodities for immediate settlement at current market prices. Spot trading offers high liquidity and transparent pricing.
Commodity Stocks
Invest in companies that produce or manage commodities, providing indirect exposure and portfolio diversification.
ETFs
Trade exchange-traded funds that track baskets of commodities or individual assets, offering accessibility and transparent market pricing.
