Trade commodities with confidence

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 Exness, 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.

When trading or investing in commodities, the main risk factors to consider are market volatility, leverage, and currency exchange rate risks. Market volatility is basically the rapid fluctuation of prices within a certain time period, which can be a very significant factor in commodity trading. When trading the world commodity market, you need to consider fundamental aspects like political stability, supply and demand, and economic performance. To make sure you maximize your performance, staying up to date with the latest market news is crucial to forming a robust and advanced commodity trading strategy. It's also important to remember that leveraged commodity trading can increase potential losses if you don't combine it with a proper risk management strategy.

At Exness, we know how it feels when your pending order falls in a price gap, so it’s only fair that we guarantee no slippage for virtually all pending orders that are executed at least 3 hours after trading opens for an instrument. However, if your order meets any of the following criteria, it will be executed at the first market quote that follows the gap:

• If your pending order is executed in market conditions that are not normal, such as during a period of low liquidity or high volatility.

• If your pending order falls in a gap but the difference in pips between the first market quote (after the gap) and the requested price of the order is equal to or exceeds a certain number of pips (slippage-free range) for a particular instrument.

Slippage rule applies to specific trading instruments.
