Commodities
We offer a simple way to gain exposure to a wide range of commodities, including oil, precious metals, agricultural commodities and more.
Our Commodities range allows you to easily follow your views on the major markets. And when you deal with IG Markets, you have the ability to take smaller positions than are possible in the underlying futures contracts with our mini contracts.
Energies
We currently offer Oil contracts on Light Crude Oil and Brent Crude Oil, as well as Heating Oil, offering a straightforward way of trading on global energy markets.
Our Gas contracts cover Natural Gas and No Lead Gasoline.
Metals
Follow your views commission-free on Spot Gold and Silver, along with Gold, Silver, High Grade Copper and Platinum futures, available 24 hours a day via PureDeal and by phone.
Other commodities
Our Commodities range also includes agricultural markets such as Chicago Wheat, Soyabeans and Corn - popular due to their high volatility.
Risk protection
Commodity 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.
Guaranteed risk protection is available for all our Commodity markets, giving you a way to guard against sudden losses.
