IG Markets is the first CFD provider to be licensed in Singapore to offer commodity CFDs.

Our extensive range of markets now covers a variety of global commodities instruments, from oil and gas to precious metals and agricultural commodities, including:

Gold
Silver

Commodities such as Oil, Gold and Silver have hit the headlines over recent months due to their record-setting prices: Gold hit over $1000 an ounce while Oil has traded at over $140 a barrel this year. Meanwhile, other commodities such as Wheat and Corn have also seen their prices fluctuate, providing volatility and therefore opportunity for traders.

We also offer contracts on Spot Gold and Silver, meaning you can trade on the current price of the precious metals. Our contracts on other commodities are available for a range of forward months.

Why trade on commodities?

Commodities are among the most popular and topical trading markets in the world, often subject to quite dramatic short-term price movements.

With IG Markets you can take your trading opportunities 24 hours a day using our commission-free Commodities contracts. We also offer smaller positions than are possible in the underlying futures contracts on metals and oil, when you choose a mini contract. Other advantages include:

No commission – With IG Markets you pay no commission: instead, all our charges are kept at competitive levels within our bid/offer spread
Gearing - Our low margin requirements mean you can take a sizeable position without tying up large amounts of capital
Deal instantly – Either using our online dealing platform or over the phone, we quote you a price and you can deal immediately – there is no need to work an order in the market
Risk protection – Guaranteed Stops can be placed on all positions on commodities, to guard against sharp losses should the market suddenly turn against you, without harming your profit potential
