What is Metal Trading
Metals trading involves buying and selling different metals like gold, silver, copper, platinum, and more within financial markets. These metals are traded as commodities on global exchanges, with their prices affected by factors such as supply and demand, geopolitical developments, and economic trends. Trading metals can occur in various ways, including physical trading where the actual metal is delivered, or through Contracts for Difference (CFDs), which offer the advantage of leverage. At Assexmarkets, you can trade metal CFDs with leverage, allowing you to increase your position size and potentially enhance your trading opportunities.

Considered a safe haven commodity, gold is commonly used to hedge against volatility in the US dollar. It is one of the most widely traded commodities in the world today.
