†A minimum spread is the lowest spread that will be shown on the given product. Minimum spread will vary subject to after-hours trading. If the underlying market spread widens throughout the trading day, or you are trading out of hours, the platform spread may also widen. The spreads shown are for the first price available for the average market trade sizes in the relevant product. The spread will widen for larger trade sizes, see our platform for more information.
Our commodity indices group together individual commodities to make a commodities ‘basket’. The indices track the underlying prices of the commodities within that index. If the individual commodity prices in that index increase, then the value of the index will go up. Conversely, if the individual commodity prices decrease, then the value of that index will fall.
There are several benefits to commodity index trading as opposed to trading individual commodities. Firstly, it can be a more cost-effective and efficient way of trading the market, as it allows you to take a view on a commodity sector as a whole, without having to open a position on each individual commodity. Likewise, this can be a good way for you to diversify your portfolio.
However, it's important to be aware that CFDs are high-risk, speculative products. High volatility combined with leverage could lead to significant losses. As with any leveraged product, both profits and losses will be based on the full value of your position. While you could make a profit if the market moves in your favour, you could just as easily make significant losses if the trade moves against you and you don’t have adequate risk-management in place.
For the Energy Index and Agricultural Index, the components were initially weighted according to the average daily trade value of the nearest six futures contracts, where available, for the 12 months preceding the index launch date, based on the initial index value of $10m. For the Precious Metals Index, Gold and Silver are split equally to collectively make up 70% of the index weight. The remaining two components, Platinum and Palladium, are also split equally and collectively make up 30% of the index weight. Subsequent index reviews are applied as shown in the index methodology.
