What is metals?

How metals trading works.

Gold and silver are traditional stores of value. Many traders use them to speculate on inflation, currency moves and market uncertainty. As a CFD you never own or store the metal: you trade its price.

  • Gold (XAU/USD) is the most widely traded metal
  • Silver (XAG/USD) is more volatile and often moves with industry demand
  • Trade a rise or fall in the price with the same order ticket

Questions

Metals, answered.

No. A CFD tracks the price. You do not buy, store or deliver the metal.

Global gold prices are quoted in dollars, so XAU/USD shows how many dollars one ounce costs.
