Why Trade Commodities?

Commodities are ideal for trading via contracts for difference. You can trade CFDs on popular spot commodities such as crude oil, sugar or coffee with higher leverage. Here, traders can use less capital and gain greater exposure to the underlying instrument.

The required margin can be approximately 5–10% of the total value of the contract. This is much lower than the average margin of other asset classes.
