Commodity CFDs

Trade Commodity CFDs online

Commodity CFDs are the new and easy way to trade commodities markets. Offering traders direct exposure to the underlying commodity, our Commodity CFD offering makes investing in oil, grains, softs, energies, gold and other precious metals as simple as trading any other CFD products. Better still, with all the features commonly associated with CFD trading, Commodity CFDs represent a simple alternative to trading commodities on the Futures exchanges.

A simple alternative to Futures trading

Trading on the Futures exchanges can, on occasions, prove prohibitive, with lot sizes and high collateral requirements restricting the trader's ability to engage in a trade.  Commodity CFDs enable investors to employ leveraged commodity trading with reduced collateral. For instance, the lot size of a US Crude Oil CFD is 25 barrels, compared to the Futures contract size of 1,000 barrels.  Combined, these benefits mean that Commodity CFDs are a useful tool for introducing greater flexibility to your trades.

Commodity CFDs – a new investment choice

For Forex or Equity traders looking for a simple way to diversify their portfolio or seeking new ways to hedge their investments, Commodity CFDs offer a new investment opportunity. Commodity CFDs enable traders to benefit from leveraged trading on the Futures market, with lower collateral requirements. This reduced entry level, combined with lower trade unit sizes means flexible trading across the global commodities markets.

Commodity CFDs will be available through all of Saxo Bank’s integrated trading platforms; the web-based SaxoWebTrader, the downloadable SaxoTrader and the SaxoMobileTrader, which allows trading on BlackBerry® smartphones, iPhones and other suitable mobile devices.
