CFDs

The traditional way to trade commodities is by using futures contracts. However this is not always the best way to trade commodities. For one thing many traders don’t have a futures trading account. And trading futures requires a fairly large upfront investment. Plus futures involve leverage, and while this can inflate gains, it can also magnify losses. All of these issues can be avoided by using CFDs to trade commodities. Liquidity is never an issue with CFDs, you can get started with a few hundred dollars, and you control the leverage, or lack of leverage, when trading CFDs.

Contracts For Difference (CFDs) are popular Over The Counter (OTC) financial derivative products which enable you to trade on the price movement of financial assets like Currency pairs Indices Futures, Commodity Futures, Cryptocurrencies, Shares and Exchange Traded Funds.

With CFDs, you can trade freely on price fluctuations 24/7, without actually owning the underlying asset or acquiring any rights or obligations in relation to the underlying asset. The main benefit of trading CFDs is the flexibility to trade against the price movements without actually buying or selling the physical instrument. That means never having to take ownership of barrels of oil or blocks of Gold.
