About Precious Metals Index

Our Precious Metals Index is an exclusive commodity index made up of four popularly-traded precious metals: gold, silver, platinum and palladium. These types of physical metals can come in the form of bullion bars and coins. Gold and silver are known as ‘safe haven’ assets that investors tend to invest in during periods of economic or political instability, although the price of palladium has risen to become even more valuable than gold in recent years. Our Precious Metals commodity basket allows you to speculate on the price movements of multiple commodities with just one position. Start spread betting or trading CFDs on our Precious Metals Index.

FAQs

New to trading?

Is it free to open an account?

There's no cost when opening a live spread betting or CFD trading account. You can also view prices and use tools such as charts, Reuters news or Morningstar quantitative equity reports, free of charge. However, you will need to deposit funds in your account to place a trade.

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).
