We offer a simple way to gain exposure to some of the world's most popular energies, metals, soft and agricultural commodities. These markets are often susceptible to dramatic changes in supply and demand and consequent price volatility, which make them attractive to speculators.
Our online platform lets you trade instantly on commodity CFDs, commission free and on competitive spreads, including mini contracts, with access to a range of risk-management tools.
Energies
A diverse range of headline-grabbing energy contracts are available, including US and Brent Crude Oil, Natural Gas, No Lead Gasoline, Heating Oil and Carbon Emissions.
Energy prices can often be subject to dramatic price movements. By paying a Limited Risk premium you can trade with risk protection, defining your maximum possible loss, without putting a ceiling on your potential profits.
Metals
Trade commission-free spot and forward metals on competitive spreads throughout the day.
We also offer futures-style contracts (with expiry dates) on all the main metals including Gold, Silver, High Grade Copper, Palladium, Platinum, Aluminium, Lead, Nickel, Tin and Zinc.
You can place Guaranteed Stops on all our metal contracts guarding you against sudden losses.
Soft, Agricultural and other markets
We offer dozens of different commodity futures including London Wheat, White Sugar, London Cocoa, Orange Juice and all the main soft and grain contracts.
Commodity prices may remain relatively static for long periods, but then make sudden sharp moves. Coffee, Cocoa and Orange Juice contracts, for example, are capable of doubling or halving in price over a short timeframe.
Commodity CFD trading with IG Markets
CFD trading on commodities with IG Markets offers a number of advantages over trading the equivalent futures market:

- Exclusive to IG Markets, AUD-denominated contracts on popular energy and metal markets enable you to avoid currency exposure
- When trading these markets with us, you pay no commission or separate charges. Instead we simply quote you a competitive bid/offer spread that is often no wider than the underlying markets spread
- Guaranteed risk protection is available on most of our commodity markets. By paying a Limited Risk premium, you can trade with risk protection, defining your maximum possible loss, without putting a ceiling on your potential profits. An important benefit when trading potentially volatile commodity markets
