How does Commodity CFD trading work?

A Contract for Difference (CFD) is an agreement between a buyer and a seller. This means that the seller pays the buyer the difference between the commodity's price and its price at the time of the contract. When your buy or sell CFD commodities, you’re taking a position on whether the value of the product will rise or fall. When it comes to high inflation, commodity prices tend to also rise. Some traders view this as a good time to open short positions and sell.

Buying a CFD means you're trading on the expectation of a price movement - you don't have to actually buy the product. You can take a short position expecting the price to fall, as well as a long one expecting the price to rise.

Commodity trading is available on all of our account types, but all 3 are a little different. None are any better or worse for trading oil or gas, instead it depends on your preferences in terms of pricing, trading platforms and execution type. Our Micro account offers trading on MT4 with instant execution. If you're trading on our Advantage or Advantage Plus accounts, you can choose from MT4 or MT5 with market execution. More details on pricing can be found here.

Every kind of trading carries risk, but commodities are often considered high risk. This is because many factors can affect their price, like inflation and the latest confidence in the global economy. On the other hand, the rewards can be greater if you make a profit as commodities are leveraged (which lets you trade a larger amount of a commodity).

Leverage is similar to a loan, meaning that we'll lend you a set amount of money so that you can buy more of an asset, and earn a larger profit on any successful trades although it does mean that your losses are greater too. You can trade CFDs on UK Brent oil with a leverage of 1:52, US crude oil with a leverage of 1:49, and US natural gas with a leverage of 1:19.

The maximum possible leverage for residents of Kenya is 1:400, regardless of instrument or account type.

You can choose from:

  • UK Brent oil (spot)
  • US crude oil (spot)
  • US natural gas (spot)
