COMMODITIES

Best CFD Brokers for Commodities

Commodity CFDs cover precious metals, energies, and agricultural products. They offer direct exposure to raw-material price movements without futures delivery obligations, making them accessible to retail traders with smaller capital.

Risk note

Geopolitical supply shocks can gap 3–5% overnight

Trading hours

Metals: 23h/day. Energy: near 24/5 with rollover gaps

Key Considerations

•Contango and backwardation: oil CFDs based on futures inherit the roll curve. Holding costs can erode returns over weeks.
•Supply-shock gaps: oil can move 5–10% on OPEC decisions or geopolitical events — often overnight when liquidity is thin.
•Gold safe-haven flows: XAU/USD can spike on risk-off events; spread often widens during releases.
•Margin requirements: energy products typically require 5–10% margin (10:1 to 20:1 effective leverage).

What to Look For

→Dollar-per-barrel spread on oil rather than % spread — easier to compare across brokers
→Transparent rollover policy: when and how futures-based CFDs roll to next contract
→Margin rates that do not change without notice during volatile periods
→Range of agricultural and soft commodities if you trade beyond metals and energy
