When trading commodity CFDs on FXTRADING.com, it's important to understand how these prices are determined. The pricing mechanism is designed to reflect real market conditions while providing transparent access to commodity markets.
The Basis of Commodity CFD Pricing
FXTRADING.com bases commodity CFD prices directly on the underlying spot markets (also called cash markets). This means the prices you see on our platform closely mirror the actual prices at which these commodities are being traded in their respective physical markets.
The spot market represents the current market price for immediate purchase, delivery, and payment of a specific commodity. By deriving our CFD prices from these markets, we ensure that you're trading at prices that accurately reflect real-world supply and demand dynamics.
Price Formation Factors
Several key factors influence the formation of commodity CFD prices:
Supply and Demand: The fundamental driver of commodity prices
Market Liquidity: How easily the underlying commodity can be bought or sold
Global Economic Conditions: Broader economic factors affecting commodity values
Production Costs: The expenses associated with extracting or producing the commodity
Geopolitical Events: Political developments that may impact commodity availability or demand

FXTRADING.com is committed to price transparency. The commodity CFD prices displayed on our platform include any applicable markups or spreads, allowing you to see the exact price at which you can execute trades. This transparent approach helps you make informed trading decisions based on accurate market information.
By basing our commodity CFD prices on the underlying spot markets, we provide you with a reliable trading experience that reflects genuine market conditions while eliminating the complexities of physical commodity ownership.
