What is
Metals
The Precious Metals Market
The precious metals market includes different types of trading: physical trading, futures, and derivatives. The most popular instrument among retail traders is Contracts for Difference (CFDs). They allow speculation on the price movements of precious metals without the need for physical ownership of the assets.
CFDs on Precious Metals with XETRD
At XETRD, we provide access to CFDs on key precious metals: gold, silver, platinum, and palladium. These assets have traditionally served as a store of value and remain highly sought‑after instruments for investors and traders worldwide.
How the Market Works
Similar to the Forex market, the precious metals CFD market operates over the counter (OTC), meaning there is no single centralized price. Quotes are formed by major international banks and financial institutions based on current market conditions.
What Influences Prices
The value of precious metals depends on numerous factors: economic data, geopolitical events, and changes in supply and demand. These variables cause regular price fluctuations, creating opportunities for both short‑term and long‑term trading.
How Precious Metal Prices Are Formed
In precious metals trading, prices are quoted per troy ounce or per gram, depending on the asset. For example, gold is traditionally quoted in U.S. dollars per troy ounce, while silver may be quoted in dollars per gram.
Trading Positions and Profit Calculation
Traders open long positions when they expect the metal’s price to rise and short positions when they anticipate a decline. Profit or loss is determined by the difference between the opening and closing prices of a trade.
Measuring Price Movements
As in the Forex market, precious metals trading uses pips — the smallest price movement of an instrument. The value of a pip depends on the position size and the chosen metal.
