Trading?<\/h2>\n<p>Commodities trading involves buying and selling physical products like food, metals, and oil. The goal is to profit off of changes in the prices of these commodities. For example, if you\u2019re holding a metal like gold and the price of gold goes up, you can sell your gold for a higher price than you bought it for and turn a profit.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, commodity trading rarely involves taking possession of physical products. Instead, commodities are traded using several different types of financial instruments. We\u2019ll get more into the different types of instruments you can use for online commodity trading below. But in general, this style of trading is beneficial because you get financial exposure to price changes in a commodity without having to actually own that commodity.<\/p>\n<p>This is much better than buying oil outright, for example. If you did that, you\u2019d have to arrange for transport and storage of multiple barrels of crude.<\/p>\n<p>Most commodities are traded globally much like forex. Prices are driven by supply and demand, which can be very volatile in some markets. For example, the price of coffee is more or less steady around the world under normal conditions. But the price of wheat can skyrocket if there\u2019s a drought or floods in a major wheat-producing region of the world that cuts off supply.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, it\u2019s important to understand what drives the price of the specific commodity that you\u2019re trading. The price of oil is driven by different factors than the price of copper, and the two commodities may react to market-wide news in different ways.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"soft_commodities_vs_hard_commodities\">Soft Commodities vs. Hard Commodities<\/h3>\n<p>Broadly speaking, commodities can be split into two different categories: soft commodities and hard commodities.<\/p>\n<p>Soft commodities are primarily agricultural products. They must be cared for by farmers, and the supply of these commodities can be impact by things like weather, environmental change, and even population trends. Popular soft commodities that are traded in the UK include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Coffee<\/li>\n<li>Soybeans<\/li>\n<li>Wheat<\/li>\n<li>Sugar<\/li>\n<li>Cocoa<\/li>\n<li>Cotton<\/li>\n<li>Pork<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7278\" src=\"https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/commodities-1-600x300-1-300x150.jpg\" alt=\"Popular commodities in the UK\" width=\"1000\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/commodities-1-600x300-1-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/commodities-1-600x300-1.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Hard commodities are generally products that are mined, such as metals and fuels. Supply of these commodities is generally stable, although it can be impacted by natural disasters, political conflict, and problems at individual mines. Demand for hard commodities is often linked to global economic growth. When the global economy is booming, demand for oil and building materials goes up so hard commodity prices rise. Popular hard commodities for trading include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gold<\/li>\n<li>Silver<\/li>\n<li>Copper<\/li>\n<li>Platinum<\/li>\n<li>Oil<\/li>\n<li>Natural gas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"cfd_commodity_trading_vs_futures_trading_vs_options_trading\">CFD Commodity Trading vs. Futures Trading vs. Options Trading<\/h3>\n<p>There are several different types of financial instruments that you can use for commodities trading. It\u2019s important to understand how each instrument works.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CFDs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>CFDs, or contracts for difference, are offered directly by your brokerage. When <a href=\"https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/trading\/cfd\">CFD trading<\/a>, the prices quoted come directly from your CFD broker \u2013 you\u2019re not trading on an open marketplace. However, CFD prices closely track the price of the underlying commodity, essentially giving you the same financial exposure as if you owned the underlying product itself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Futures<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Commodity futures are virtually identical to CFDs from the trader\u2019s perspective. However, whereas CFDs are offered directly by your broker, futures contracts are traded through a centralized exchange. That means that when you buy and sell futures, your broker acts only as an intermediary and prices are set on the open market.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Options<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Commodity options are significantly more complex than either CFDs or futures. Options give you the right to buy or sell a commodity at a specified price on a specific day in the future. Timing is everything when options trading since your options contract becomes worthless after its expiration date. In the meantime, the value of your contract can change dramatically based on both the price of the underlying commodity and the time remaining to expiration.<\/p>\n<p>The advantage of options contracts is that they offer flexibility. You can buy and sell contracts with different expiration dates to hedge your bets, for example. Options trading is only suitable for very advanced commodities traders.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, CFDs, futures, and options all let you trade with leverage. That means that you can multiply the effective size of your commodities position. Let\u2019s say you have \u00a3100 in your trading account. With 10:1 leverage, you could buy up to \u00a31,000 worth of commodities through these financial instruments.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what_commodities_can_you_trade_in_the_uk\">What Commodities Can You Trade in the UK?<\/h2>\n<p>You can trade dozens of different commodities in the UK. Let\u2019s take a closer look at some of the most popular products for trading.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"agricultural_products\">Agricultural Products<\/h3>\n<p>Agricultural products are some of the most widely traded commodities in the world. After all, feeding the growing global population is a huge undertaking and massive quantities of food are shipped around the world every day.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-7274 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/Soft-Commodities-300x211.jpg\" alt=\"Agricultural commodities trading\" width=\"300\" height=\"211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/Soft-Commodities-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/Soft-Commodities.jpg 740w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Some of the most popular agricultural commodities traded in the UK are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Coffee<\/li>\n<li>Sugar<\/li>\n<li>Wheat<\/li>\n<li>Soybeans<\/li>\n<li>Orange juice<\/li>\n<li>Cocoa<\/li>\n<li>Rice<\/li>\n<li>Cotton<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are many more agricultural products that can be traded, including barley, lumber, livestock, and dairy. However, you won\u2019t find agricultural commodities trading to be as widely available among UK <a href=\"https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/stock-brokers\">stock brokers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"metals\">Metals<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-7273 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/Metal-Trading-300x150.jpg\" alt=\"Precious metals trading\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/Metal-Trading-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/Metal-Trading.jpg 318w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>The most commonly traded metals in the world are gold, silver, and copper. Gold and silver are prized as precious metals that have their own inherent value. The price of these metals typically moves in the opposite direction of the stock market, making them popular among stock investors who want to diversify their portfolios.<\/p>\n<p>Copper, along with lesser traded metals like aluminum, platinum, and palladium, is often traded as a building material since it\u2019s used in wiring and plumbing. The price of these metals typically goes up when the global economy is booming and drops when the global economy contracts.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"energy_products\">Energy Products<\/h3>\n<p>Energy products like crude oil, natural gas, kerosene, and heating oil are also highly traded. In fact, crude oil is the single most widely traded commodity not just in the UK, but in the entire world. The price of oil can be highly volatile, with the state of the global economy driving much of the overall direction of energy prices.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"why_people_trade_commodities\">Why People Trade Commodities<\/h2>\n<p>There are a few important advantages to UK commodity trading, especially if you\u2019re trading commodities to diversity your portfolio. While there are different triggers for price changes among commodities, most commodities don\u2019t move in lockstep with the stock market. So, if you typically <a href=\"https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/buy-shares\">buy shares<\/a>, trading commodities can help you mitigate your risk to a downturn in the stock market.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, commodities can help you hedge against some economic risks like inflation. Whereas stocks and bonds typically lose value in the face of inflation, commodities tend to hold their ground. Some agricultural commodities can also hold their value or even gain in value during global economic slowdowns, when most other assets are losing money.<\/p>\n<p>Commodities are also volatile, and that can be an advantage in itself. Volatile assets are risky, but they may also provide more opportunities for profit. Many commodities react strongly to news events and economic conditions not just in the UK, but around the world.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"how_to_potentially_make_profits_in_commodity_trading\">How to Potentially Make Profits in Commodity Trading<\/h3>\n<p>Profiting from commodity trading in the UK takes time, practice, and dedication. You can make a profit when you buy CFD or futures contracts for a product and then the price of the product rises. You can then sell your CFDs back to your broker or your futures contracts back onto the open market at a higher price than what you bought it for.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, if you believe that the price of a commodity will go down, you can short sell CFDs or futures contracts for that product. If the price drops, you then buy contracts at a lower price to exit your position.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, since you can use leverage while commodities trading, you can make a profit even off of small changes in the price of the underlying asset. At leverage of 10:1, a 1% change in the value of, for example, wheat would change the value of your CFD or futures position by 10%.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"commodity_trading_risks\">Commodity Trading Risks<\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s always a risk when trading commodities that the trade will go against you. If you buy copper CFDs, say, and the price falls, you could be forced to sell your CFDs for less than you bought them for.<\/p>\n<p>Most brokers offer negative balance protection, so you can never lose more money than you have in your trading account. However, when trading with leverage, losses can happen quickly since every price change in the underlying asset is magnified in your position. Be sure to use stop loss orders to protect yourself against large financial losses.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"commodity_trading_strategies\">Commodity Trading Strategies<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s important to approach commodity trading with a clear strategy and stick to it. There are many different types of commodity trading strategies you can use. Let\u2019s take a closer look at three strategies that are perfect for beginners.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Range Trading<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Range trading is a useful strategy when a commodity\u2019s price moves sideways between an upper resistance level and a lower support level. The price can repeatedly bounce up and down between these two levels, offering opportunities to trade as it moves.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7275\" src=\"https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/What-is-a-Range-Bound-Market-300x179.png\" alt=\"Range trading commodities\" width=\"1000\" height=\"595\" srcset=\"https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/What-is-a-Range-Bound-Market-300x179.png 300w, https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/What-is-a-Range-Bound-Market-1024x610.png 1024w, https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/What-is-a-Range-Bound-Market-768x457.png 768w, https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/What-is-a-Range-Bound-Market.png 1149w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The key to range trading is identifying the upper and lower bounds through technical analysis. Bollinger Bands can often reveal a commodity\u2019s price range, but in some cases you\u2019ll need to draw trendlines yourself. In any case, be wary of potential breakouts above or below the range that require a different approach.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trend Following<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Commodities can be highly volatile in the short term, but the prices of many products trend over a scale of months to years. Trading in the direction of the trend can not only be very effective, but also provide a level of insurance for your trade. Even if <a href=\"https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/trading\/day\">day trading<\/a> goes against you one day, you may be able to hold your position and benefit from the broader trend a week or a month later.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7276\" src=\"https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/Trend-Following-300x132.png\" alt=\"Trend following strategy commodities\" width=\"1000\" height=\"441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/Trend-Following-300x132.png 300w, https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/Trend-Following-768x339.png 768w, https:\/\/learnbonds.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/Trend-Following.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When using a trend following strategy, it\u2019s important to keep a close watch on the strength of the trend. Momentum indicators like moving averages and MACD can be very useful for this purpose.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Seasonal Trading<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One thing that\u2019s unique about commodities compared to other types of assets is that they\u2019re real-world products that people and businesses actually use. As such, there are seasonal fluctuations in the prices of many commodities.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the price of natural gas often goes up in the winter when many people are using it in their homes. The price of oil is often high during the summer when more people are travelling. The prices of agricultural products often rise and fall with the harvest.<\/p>\n<p>Understanding these seasonal price fluctuations, which can often be subtle, can help you correctly predict the direction of a trend or whether a commodity will break out of its trading range.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"commodity_trading_tips\">Commodity Trading Tips<\/h2>\n<p>Getting started with online commodity trading can be difficult. To jump start your trading, try these five tips:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong> Take a Commodity Trading Course<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>While this guide is a great place to start learning about commodities trading, a UK commodity trading course can help you dive much deeper into the market. Many top commodities traders offer courses online, as do a handful of brokers. Some even offer personalized feedback on your trading so that you can adjust and improve your trading as you go.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong> Read Commodity Trading Books<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Another great way to get a deeper understanding of how commodities trading works is to pick up a commodity trading book. Some of our favourites are \u201cA Trader\u2019s First Book on Commodities\u201d by Carley Garner and \u201cHot Commodities: How Anyone Can Invest Profitably in the World\u2019s Best Market\u201d by Jim Rogers.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong> Try a Commodity Trading Demo Account<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>With a commodity trading demo account, you can dive into commodities trading without putting real money on the line. This is a great way to try out strategies and learn about price movements in a specific product. Using a demo account can also help you get acquainted with your broker\u2019s trading tools.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong> Start with One Commodity<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>It\u2019s easy to get excited by the range of different commodities you can trade. But starting with one commodity can help you focus and practice your skills. Become an expert on that single product and understand all the factors that influence its price before moving on to trading another commodity.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong> Protect Against Downside<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>An important part of succeeding as a commodities trader is to limit your losses. You don\u2019t have to win every single trade, but you do have to prevent bad trades from wiping out all your profits.<\/p>\n<p>To do that, some traders place a stop loss order with every trade. With a stop loss, your broker will automatically close your position if the trade goes against you. You can also set trailing stop losses, which rise as the value of your position rises, to lock in profits after a successful trade.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"commodity_trading_platforms\">Commodity Trading Platforms<\/h2>\n<p>Getting the a commodity trading platform can be extremely important. Your broker controls everything from what instruments you can use to trade commodities to how much it costs. So, let\u2019s review some popular commodity brokers in the UK.<\/p>\n                    \n                    <div class=\"inContentProviderStatic inContentColor--learnbonds fc-row\">\n                        <div class=\"inContentProviderStatic--wrapper\">\n                            <div class=\"container p-0\">\n                                <div class=\"row mb-lg-3 inContentProviderStatic--headerRow\">\n                                    <div class=\"col-12\">\n                                        <h3 class=\"inContentProviderStatic--title\"><strong>Plus500<\/strong><\/h3>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                <\/div><!--\/.row-->\n                                <div class=\"row mb-3 pt-sm-3 pt-md-3 pt-lg-0\">\n                                    <div class=\"col-12 col-sm-8 col-lg-9\">\n                                        <div class=\"inContentProviderStatic--descriptions\">\n                                            <p>\n<\/p><p class=\"paragraph-text-0\">Plus500 is another popular commodities CFD broker in the UK.

You\u2019ll need to create a new username and password, then enter personal details like your name, email, and birthdate.<\/p>\n<p>To comply with government regulations, you\u2019ll also need to verify your identity. You can do this online by uploading a copy of your passport or driver\u2019s license and a copy of a recent utility bill.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 2: Fund Your Account<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can fund your account using several convenient methods. The broker accepts credit and debit cards, e-wallets like Neteller and Skrill, and bank and wire transfers. Just keep in mind that brokers require a minimum deposit when you open a new account.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 3: Place Your First Commodity Trade<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now you\u2019re ready to place your first online commodity trade. Search for your favorite commodity, like \u2018Gold,\u2019 in the box at the top of the dashboard. When it appears, click \u2018Trade.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>That will open a new order form. Enter how much money you\u2019d like to trade with and specify whether you\u2019d like to apply leverage to your position.<\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re ready, click \u2018Trade\u2019 to buy your first commodity.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Commodities trading in the UK offers traders the ability to speculate on the price of products that are widely traded around the world. You can trade many different commodities, including agricultural products, metals, and energy products. Commodities trading is advantageous particularly for stock traders because the price of commodities often moves out of sync with the broader market.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"faqs\">FAQs<\/h2>\n<div class='man_faq_sec' itemscope itemtype='https:\/\/schema.org\/FAQPage'> <\/time><time itemprop=\"dateModified\" datetime=\"2020-06-11 11:16:21\"><\/time><script>jQuery(document).ready(function() {\r\n\t\t\tjQuery('.accordionButton').on('click', function() {\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\/\/REMOVE THE ON CLASS FROM ALL BUTTONS\r\n\t\t\t\tjQuery('.accordionButton').removeClass('on');\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\/\/NO MATTER WHAT WE CLOSE ALL OPEN SLIDES\r\n\t\t\t\tjQuery('.accordionContent').slideUp('normal');\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\/\/IF THE NEXT SLIDE WASN'T OPEN THEN OPEN IT\r\n\t\t\t\tif(jQuery(this).closest('.ms_faq').find('.accordionContent').is(':hidden') == true) {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ADD THE ON CLASS TO THE BUTTON\r\n\t\t\t\t\tjQuery(this).closest('.ms_faq').find('.accordionButton').addClass('on');\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\/\/OPEN THE SLIDE\r\n\t\t\t\t\tjQuery(this).closest('.ms_faq').find('.accordionContent').slideDown('normal');\r\n\t\t\t\t} \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t});\r\n\t\t\t});\r\n\t\t\t<\/script><section class=\"ms_faq ms_card \" ><div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"><div class=\"accordionButton\"><h3 itemprop=\"name\">How does commodity trading work?<\/h3> <\/div>\n<div class=\"accordionContent\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" style=\"display:none;\"><p itemprop=\"text\">You can get financial exposure to the price of a commodity without actually owning it by trading CFDs, futures, or options.
