Commodity Trading Explained

Commodities, such as oil, rice, cocoa, corn, livestock, energies, and precious metals like gold and silver are important for a trader’s portfolio as they provide great diversification. Commodities usually move in opposite direction with equities or stocks, which can be considered as safe havens for investors during times of uncertainty or high market volatility.

Commodities are traded as futures contracts, which bind the parties to transact an underlying asset (or commodity) at a specific date in the future at a specific price. Fxview offers CFDs on commodity futures, allowing traders to trade these assets on leverage.
