What Are Commodities?
Commodities are raw materials priced against standardised contract specifications rather than the name of a producer, because one barrel of crude or one ounce of gold is interchangeable with another of the same grade. A commodity CFD follows that price without any physical delivery. Trade Currencies, Stocks, Indices, Commodities, Cryptocurrencies and Fixed Income products with MarketsAll.
-
Energy
Crude oil grades and natural gas. Prices respond to production decisions, refining and transport capacity, storage levels and the pace of economic activity.
-
Precious Metals
Gold, silver and palladium. Demand comes from investment and reserve holdings as well as jewellery and, for some metals, industrial use.
-
Industrial Metals
Copper, aluminium and nickel. Demand is tied closely to construction, manufacturing and infrastructure activity.
-
Agriculture
Grains, softs and livestock. Growing conditions, harvest cycles and seasonality matter more here than in other commodity markets.
MarketsAll offers instruments in two of these categories only: energy and precious metals. Industrial metals and agricultural commodities are not available on the MarketsAll MetaTrader 5 server.
Supply and Demand
Commodity commentary starts from the balance between how much of a raw material is available and how much buyers want.
-
Supply rises while demand is unchanged
More of the commodity is available to the same set of buyers, so downward price pressure may occur.
-
Demand rises while supply is unchanged
More buyers compete for the same quantity, so upward price pressure may occur.
This is a deliberately simplified model. Prices also respond to inventories, storage and transport capacity, currencies, interest rates, positioning and expectations, so a change in one variable does not produce a fixed outcome.
Energy Markets
Traders following crude oil and natural gas usually watch three recurring topics.
-
OPEC and OPEC+
OPEC and the wider OPEC+ grouping publish production decisions and output guidance. Because those decisions affect how much crude reaches the market, meeting outcomes are widely followed.
-
IEA
The International Energy Agency publishes research and periodic outlooks on energy supply and demand. Its material is often used as background reading when forming a view on the cycle.
-
Inventories
Inventory data shows how much crude or gas is held in storage. Rising stocks can point to a looser market and falling stocks to a tighter one.
OPEC, OPEC+ and the IEA are independent organisations named here as educational reference sources. MarketsAll is not affiliated with them and does not present their publications as trading signals.
WTI and Brent Compared
Crude oil is not a single market. Two benchmarks dominate the pricing conversation, and they refer to different physical barrels.
The gap between the two widens and narrows rather than holding at a fixed level. Pipeline and shipping capacity, regional supply, inventories at each delivery point and the grade of the crude all feed into it, and geopolitical developments reach the two benchmarks unevenly.
Precious Metals
Gold and silver are the most widely followed precious metals, and they are not driven by exactly the same demand.
-
Gold
Gold is usually discussed in relation to interest rates, the US dollar, central bank reserves, inflation expectations and risk sentiment. These influences can pull in opposite directions at the same time.
-
Silver
Silver has two sources of demand. It responds to many of the same drivers as gold, and it is also consumed in electronics and solar manufacturing, which links part of its demand to the manufacturing cycle.
Agriculture in Brief
Agricultural markets follow a different rhythm from energy and metals. Weather during the growing season, harvest expectations, planted acreage and disruptions such as drought or export restrictions drive prices, and production arrives in cycles rather than continuously.
This section is educational. MarketsAll does not offer agricultural instruments. The United States Department of Agriculture, which publishes crop and supply data used as reference material in this area, is named here as a public source and has no relationship with MarketsAll.
Commodity Trading at MarketsAll
Gold (XAU/USD) is available on every account type. The benchmark figures below come from the account master data used across the site; full conditions are published on the pricing page and the account types page.

Commodity Trading Risks
Commodity CFDs are leveraged products, and losses can exceed the amount you expected to risk. Consider the following before opening a position.
-
Leverage
Leverage increases your exposure relative to your deposit, so it magnifies losses as well as gains. A small adverse move can consume a large share of your account.
-
Volatility
Commodity prices can move sharply within a single session. Wider swings can also mean wider spreads and less predictable execution.
-
Supply Shocks
Production outages, transport disruptions and storage constraints can change the supply picture quickly, and they are often not signalled in advance.
-
Geopolitical Events
Energy markets react to political developments, sanctions and conflict. The size and direction of that reaction differ from one episode to the next.
-
Scheduled Data
Inventory reports and other scheduled releases can reprice a market quickly. Positions held through them may be exposed to gaps.
-
Costs and Contract Terms
Spreads, overnight financing and each instrument's specification affect the result of a position. Review the applicable trading conditions before you trade.
