What are commodities?
When investors refer to commodities, they are mainly referring to precious metals, natural energy resources and agricultural goods. Gold and oil, along with silver, copper and platinum, are the most popular precious metals and are the most traded, while the most popular energy resources are oil and natural gas. Coffee, sugar and cotton are the commonly traded agricultural goods. At A3 Trading you will enjoy access to a wide variety of commodities, including those mentioned previously, along with silver, copper, cotton, platinum and much more.
An important part of your portfolio
Commodities are often an integral part of any investment portfolio, providing alternatives to currency trading at specific times. For example, gold is considered a safe haven asset. This means that when the markets are uncertain, or traders don't have specific asset they wish to invest in, they will often 'park' their capital by purchasing gold. Gold is traditionally safe from the fiscal policy of governments and uncontrollable market influences.
Oil is another highly valued commodity, allowing some skilled traders able to earn large amounts of profits. The value of oil tends to fluctuate rapidly, offering many opportunities to earn substantial amounts in a short period of time.
