Trusted commodity trading platform in South Africa

Commodities are raw materials like gold, oil, and gas. They are traded globally and priced according to supply, demand, and other economic factors. South African traders can take advantage of these price fluctuations through online CFD trading.

South African traders can access a variety of commodity CFDs with Exness, including:

1. Precious metals: XAUUSD (gold), XAGUSD (silver), and XPTUSD (platinum).

2. Energies: USOIL (West Texas crude), UKOIL (Brent crude), and XNGUSD (natural gas).

Many traders hedge against inflation with gold, while others capitalize on energy market volatility.

Gold, silver, and platinum are the most widely traded precious metals, while oil and gas lead in energy markets. Commodities attract traders due to their liquidity and dynamic relation to the US dollar's movements.

Trading commodities carries inherent risks, primarily market volatility, leverage exposure, and currency fluctuations. Market volatility refers to rapid price movements that can impact profitability, making timing and risk management essential for traders.

Fundamental factors such as political stability, global supply and demand, and economic performance also influence commodity prices. South African traders need to stay informed about economic policies, market news, and industry reports to make well-informed decisions.

Additionally, leveraged trading magnifies both potential gains and losses. Without a solid risk management plan, traders could face substantial losses. Utilizing stop-loss orders, position sizing, and diversification can help mitigate risks while navigating the commodity market effectively.

Important economic news and events tend to create sharp moves and price gaps. To protect traders during periods of high volatility, we reduce leverage on gold pairs to 1:200 and silver pairs to 1:100.

At Exness, we ensure no slippage for nearly all pending orders executed at least three hours after an instrument's trading session opens.

However, your order will be executed at the first available market price if:

• Market conditions are abnormal, such as during periods of low liquidity or high volatility.
• A price gap exceeds the slippage-free range for that instrument. This means the difference in pips between the first market quote and your requested price is equal to or greater than the predefined threshold.

This slippage rule applies only to specific trading instruments.
