Commodity market conditions
The commodity market is a global marketplace for trading various types of commodities like precious metals and energies. Trading them allows you to speculate on the price of highly volatile instruments like gold and oil without buying the underlying asset, whether the commodity price is going up or down.
Spreads³
Spreads are always floating, so the spreads in the table above are yesterday’s averages. For live spreads, please refer to the trading platform.
Please note that spreads may widen when the markets experience lower liquidity. This may persist until liquidity levels are restored.
Swaps
Swap is a type of commission applied to trading positions held overnight. On Wednesdays, a triple swap rate applies for positions in gold, silver, platinum, and other metal pairs to account for the market close over the weekend where no swaps are charged.
Swap values may be updated on a daily basis. If you are a resident of a Muslim country, all accounts are automatically swap-free.
Dynamic margin requirements
Margin requirements are tied to the rate of leverage you use. Changing your leverage will cause margin requirements on XAU (gold) and XAG (silver) pairs to change. Just as spreads change depending on conditions, the leverage available to you can also vary. You can read more about the changes in margin requirements in the FAQ section below.
Fixed margin requirements
Margin requirements for the following commodities always remain fixed, regardless of the maximum leverage set on your account:
For XAL (aluminum), XCU (copper), XNI (nickel), XPB (lead), XPT (platinum), XPD (palladium) and XZN (zinc) leverage is set at 1:100
For XNGUSD (natural gas), leverage is set at 1:20
Margin requirements for USOIL and UKOIL always remain fixed with a leverage of 1:200, except for specific periods of higher margin requirements. During the following higher margin requirements periods, the margin requirements for both USOIL and UKOIL are set at 5% (1:20 leverage):
USOIL: from 16:45 (GMT+0) on Friday to 22:59 (GMT+0) on Sunday
UKOIL: from 08:00 (GMT+0) on Friday to 00:30 (GMT+0) on Monday
