Commodities
Gold, silver, oil, natural gas and more as CFDs: follow the big themes of the world economy, with no physical delivery.
Commodity CFDs
Commodity CFDs track the price of the underlying — often the most traded futures contract — without you having to buy or store anything. You can go long or short.
When the CFD tracks a futures contract, at expiry the position may be closed or rolled to the next contract with a price adjustment: details are in the instrument specifications.
