Gold, Silver, Copper, Platinum and Palladium contracts are available via PureDeal and by phone. And we offer 3-month metals including Aluminium, Lead, Nickel, Tin and Zinc for trading by phone.
Commodity spread betting markets are susceptible to dramatic changes in supply and demand and consequent price volatility, and therefore present an opportunity for spectacular profits and losses. 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.
Guaranteed risk protection is available on most of our commodity spread betting markets. This gives you a way to guard against sudden losses.
