About Gold - Cash

The precious metal and traditional safe-haven, gold, is one of our most popularly traded commodities. Historical trends show large annual increases in the amount of gold bought, which can come in the form of bullion or coins. The price of gold can be influenced by factors such as inflation and interest rates, while gold can also be seen as a form of currency. You can view our gold trading hours below, and depending on your trading strategy and preference, our gold price chart can be analysed in a short or long-term timeframe. Spread bet or trade CFDs on the price of gold now.

New to trading?

Is it free to open an account?

What are the costs of spread betting and CFD trading?

There are a number of costs to consider when spread betting, including spread costs, holding costs (for trades held overnight which is essentially a fee for the funds you borrow to cover the leveraged portion of the trade), rollover costs on expiring forward trades, and guaranteed stop-loss order charges (if you use this risk-management tool).

Gold - Cash FAQs

How does the stock market affect gold prices?

Gold prices tend to increase when the stock market is performing at a lower level. This is because precious metals tend to benefit from financial crises, such as a market crash, where investors are more likely to take their money out of stocks and pour it into safe haven assets like gold, increasing its value. Read more on how to take advantage of a stock market crash.
