Many people all over the world are trading commodities such as Oil, Gold and Silver. In addition to the Indices, share and Forex pairs that we offer, we also provide a variety of commodities which can all be traded from one individual trading account. With iFOREX you can trade commodities in the form of a CFD with leverage (where permitted by local regulations) and take advantage of market trends.
Commodities traded on stock exchanges can be anything that is consumable on an international scale. They can be metals that are used for jewelry, construction, medical tools, and much more. They can be basic agricultural produce that is literally part and parcel in the diet of billions. They can be different elements mined from the ground, especially oil, with its specific value subjected to OPEC+.
Commodities can be traded as CFDs (contracts for difference). This means you don't need to have the actual gold bars or oil barrels on hand, but you can trade by forecasting the value of it., if it will go up (buy) or down (sell) instead. The CFD mimics the difference of the actual instrument, commodities in this case, and presents gains or losses accordingly.
Understanding what drives commodity prices is essential for making informed trading decisions. Commodity prices fluctuate based on a range of factors, including global supply and demand, geopolitical events, economic data, and seasonal trends. At iFOREX, we provide real-time market data and powerful trading tools to help you stay on top of price movements and react to market changes effectively.
Unlike traditional assets, commodity prices can be highly sensitive to external shocks—such as natural disasters, trade restrictions, or changes in production levels. Factors like weather conditions, political instability in key producing regions, or shifts in consumer demand can all lead to significant price swings.
With iFOREX, you can analyze live price charts, apply technical indicators, and use built-in risk management features to navigate commodity market volatility. Whether you're trading gold, oil, or agricultural products, staying informed and agile is key to making smarter trading decisions.

How do I calculate how much margin I need to trade a commodity?
To calculate the margin required for commodity trading online, you multiply the total value of your position by the margin percentage.
For example, if you want to open a $10,000 position and the margin requirement is 5%, you would need to allocate $500 as margin.
Keep in mind that margin requirements can vary depending on the commodity, market conditions, and whether you are using leverage.
iFOREX provides transparent information about margin requirements on our trading platform so you can plan your trades confidently
What is the most profitable commodity?
There is no single answer, as profitability depends on market conditions and timing. However, traditionally, commodities like crude oil, gold, and natural gas have been considered highly profitable due to their volatility and trading volume.
Agricultural products and industrial metals can also offer opportunities, especially during periods of supply shortages or strong demand.
It’s important to remember that while higher volatility can increase potential profits, it also raises the risk, so a solid strategy and proper risk management are essential.
