Commodities Trading

Start trading commodities like gold, silver, crude oil, natural gas, coffee, sugar, and cotton from as little as 0.1 Lot.

What is Commodities Trading?

Commodities trading involves speculating on the price movements of raw materials and essential goods that power the global economy. These markets are widely traded due to their liquidity, volatility, and strong connection to global economic events.

Commodities are generally divided into two main categories:

Hard Commodities

Hard commodities are natural resources that are mined or extracted from the earth. These include precious metals and energy products such as gold, silver, crude oil, and natural gas.

Soft Commodities

Soft commodities consist of agricultural products and livestock, including coffee, cotton, sugar, soybeans, and more. Prices of soft commodities are often influenced by weather conditions, seasonal demand, and global supply chains.
