Commodities are raw materials that are produced in large quantities and traded on an international market. Examples of commodities include energies like crude oil and natural gas, and precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum. Commodity prices are typically determined by factors like supply and demand, political stability, currency value, and economic performance.
You can trade a wide range of financial instruments on the commodity market, most notably precious metals and energies.
Many traders will capitalize on the volatility of energies to benefit from the frequent price fluctuations, while others will trade gold to hedge their portfolio with a safe haven asset.
At Harmonic, you can trade commodity derivatives on the world’s most highly-traded commodities, including USOIL, XNGUSD, UKOIL, XAUUSD, XAGUSD, and XPTUSD.
The most popular commodities to trade are precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum, as well as energy products like crude oil, UK oil, and natural gas. Precious metals are particularly popular because of their limited supply and constant demand, while energy commodities are attractive investments because of their sensitivity to global events.
