CFD trading is the convenient way to make the most of the volatility in commodity markets. IG Markets offer an extensive range of commodities, with extremely competitive spreads and no commissions to pay.
With CFDs, you have the ability to trade smaller positions than are possible in the underlying futures contract. Mini-contracts are also available.
Wide range of commodities
IG Markets offers a broad range of commodities, including major metals and energies markets like gold, silver, gas and oil as well as soft commodities, such as sugar, wheat, cocoa, lumber and more.
Some of our commodity markets are available most of the hours throughout the day, meaning you can react to global events as they occur, and take full advantage of any subsequent market movements.
Our commodity trading spreads are also extremely competitive, from as low as 0.5 points on the popular Spot Gold.
