Physical assets

Explore global commodities trading, such as precious metals and oil, through contracts for difference (CFDs). This modality allows you to speculate on price fluctuations without owning the physical asset. Enjoy the ability to trade nearly 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, with the security of a reputable broker based in Australia.

Practical example

Imagine you decide to buy a gold CFD at $1,505. If the gold price increases and you close your position at $1,525, you make a profit of $20. Conversely, if the price drops to $1,500, you face a loss of $5. Essentially, your profit or loss is determined by the price variation of the commodity during your trade period.

An entry way to commodities

Trading commodities offers an excellent way to access commodity markets, using price volatility to maximize gains and manage risks associated with direct ownership of physical assets.

A History of Commodities Trading

Commodity trading area

The most significant development in commodities trading occurred in 1848 when the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) was set up. Its regulated structure provided the exchange of futures and options contracts. Commodities exchanges are now located worldwide with some specialising in multiple commodities or a lone material. Major commodity markets include the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX), London Metal Exchange (LME), the Multi Commodity Exchange of India Ltd (MCX) and the Australian Stock Exchange (ASE).

Traces of commodity transactions

There are traces of commodities trading as far back as ancient China and 4500 BC where the Sumerians (modern day Iraq) used jugs filled with clay tokens that were shaped to represent the animal or crop they had in their possession. This evolved over time until 1611 when the Amsterdam Stock Exchange was created. It was the world’s first stock exchange and was originally a market for commodity exchange.

Commodity trading instrument

Commodities trading was previously limited to professional traders as it required a substantial amount of time, resources and expertise. Technology and the introduction of additional commodities trading products have changed this. Individuals can now trade commodities using advanced online trading platforms such as MetaTrader 4 and 5. The ways to trade commodities have also expanded to include derivative products such as options, futures contracts, contract for difference (CFDs) and exchange traded funds (ETFs).

Special Characteristics of The Commodities Market

Metals

Precious metals are rare and remain valuable due to their infinite lifespan and the absence of the prospect of oversupply. The most traded metals are gold, silver, platinum and palladium. Popular metals such as gold and silver can be traded against major currencies in a similar manner to forex trading.

Energy

Includes oil, natural gas and other petroleum based fuel products. Crude oil can be refined into petrol, chemicals, lubricant and other products making it the most traded energy source. Brent Crude and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) are the two major types used to benchmark global oil prices.

Agriculture and Livestock

Relates to major crops and livestock which are in high demand. This includes wheat, rice, corn, coffee, sugar, cotton, oats, soybeans, live cattle, eggs and more. They play a pivotal role in the economy, especially in developing countries which rely heavily on agricultural exports for their economic growth and development.

One of the most interesting characteristics of the commodities market are the factors which impact pricing. Directly related to supply and demand, these include adverse weather conditions such as natural disasters and severe climate changes.

The ability to access commodities using online trading platforms has allowed individual traders to benefit from them. Commodities are often utilised for portfolio diversification as they are generally negatively correlated with stock prices. They are also considered to be an excellent hedging tool against inflation as commodity prices rise when inflation is accelerating. Similarly, many traders invest in commodities to hedge against geopolitical uncertainties such as wars, political events and trade agreements.
