Expecting big things in energy or metals? Our commodity indices let you take a view on a sector with a single position and help to diversify your portfolio
Commodity trading is as old as the financial markets, and perhaps even older than that. The first example of an organised exchange for trading commodities dates back to Amsterdam in 1530.
Gold is one of the world’s oldest and most precious metals. It’s what we award athletes who finish first, it’s designed into the jewellery we give loved ones, and some cultures have even gone so far as to build entire temples out of it.
Bold, stimulating, robust. No, we're not describing your favourite coffee – we're giving you an idea of what it feels like when you trade it.
We offer a range of advanced order types, including trailing and guaranteed stop losses, partial closure, market orders and boundary orders on every trade, so you have the flexibility to trade your way.
Our award-winning platforms provides customisable features to support your chart analysis. Choose from over 115 technical indicators and drawing tools, more than 70 patterns and 12 in-built chart types.
Commodity is a general term used to refer to physical goods that can be bought or sold freely on the market. Commodities can be categorised into either hard or soft varieties. Hard commodities are natural resources like oil, gold and rubber and are often mined or extracted. Soft commodities include agricultural products such as coffee, wheat or corn.
A commodity CFD lets you take a position on a commodity’s price movement without owning the physical asset. Commodity markets are traded in a similar way to other types of financial instruments, but there are some points to be aware of to avoid any shocks or surprises when dipping your toe into commodities trading.

Neither is inherently better; commodities and shares respond to different market forces. For example, commodity prices can be influenced by supply and demand, weather, inflation, interest rates, and geopolitical events. As commodity markets may move differently from shares and impact price volatility, you should consider your goals, risk tolerance, and view of market conditions.
With CMC Markets, you can trade commodity CFDs by taking a position on whether a commodity’s price will rise or fall, without owning the underlying asset. CFDs are leveraged products, so both profits and losses can be magnified.
Leverage allows you to gain exposure to a larger CFD position by providing an initial margin rather than paying the full position value. This can magnify both gains and losses, meaning relatively small movements in the underlying commodity may have a larger impact on your account. The leverage available depends on the product, account type, and applicable regulatory requirements. Make sure you understand the risks and consider whether CFD trading is appropriate for you.
With CFD trading, there are several pathways to get commodity exposure, such as through futures/forwards, ETFs and shares. CFD traders speculate on commodity price movements without having any actual ownership of the physical goods.
You can start by choosing a commodity market, and learning what influences its price. Next, decide whether to buy (go long) or sell (go short), choose an appropriate position size, and set risk-management measures such as stop-loss and take-profit orders.
A demo account can be useful for practising how commodity trading works before trading with real money.
Commodity trading involves several risks, including market volatility, changes in supply and demand, and geopolitical or economic events, which can cause prices to move quickly and unpredictably. When trading commodities using CFDs, leverage adds further risk, as it can amplify both gains and losses. Traders should understand margin requirements and risk-management tools before opening a position
