Commodities
Gold, oil, metals and agriculture — supply, demand and cycles.
Commodities are physical goods traded on global markets. Prices respond to supply disruptions, demand cycles, storage costs and the strength of the US dollar.
Retail exposure is usually indirect — via futures-linked products, ETFs or derivatives — so it is important to understand what exactly you are holding.
What to be careful of
- Prices can be volatile and cycle-driven
- Most retail products do not deliver the physical asset
- Rollover mechanics can affect long-held positions
Risk warning. Trading leveraged products involves significant risk and may not be suitable for all investors. You should understand the risks before investing.
