Gold Trading

Gold trading allows traders to speculate on the gold price movement. The most popular means of commodity trading includes gold and oil.

Particularly, gold trading is appealing thanks to the high demand, liquidity, and volatility in gold prices.

Moreover, investors consider gold a 'safe haven' during unstable times. Often, holding physical gold and buying gold are considered auspicious in certain cultures. Hence, cultural significance compels people to invest in gold.

Hedging in the gold market is also a common gold trading strategy, as the metal is generally negatively correlated with stocks and bonds, depending on the economy's stability.

Trading gold CFDs

Online gold trading enables a trader to speculate the price of gold online through spot gold prices, gold futures, gold-related stocks, and even gold ETFs or exchange-traded funds.

Gold online trading with CFDs (Contract for difference) adds more convenience for the trader. A CFD means that a trader is not physically buying gold but merely speculating on the price movements in the precious metal.

Another benefit of trading gold CFDs is that it enables you to go either long (buy) or short (sell), so you can speculate on the price movement in either direction.

Trading Gold CFDs helps you gain exposure in the gold market without taking ownership or being concerned about the physical delivery of the commodity.

Why trade gold CFDs?

Price Volatility

The significant volatility in gold prices provides ample trading opportunities.

Safe Haven

Gold is the main beneficiary of any geopolitical tensions or global uncertainties.

Diversification

Diversifying with gold could help build a balanced portfolio.

Holding Value

Unlike paper currency, coins or other assets, gold has maintained its value throughout the ages.

Inflation Hedge

Gold price tends to rise when the cost-of-living increases; hence, the yellow metal is broadly considered an excellent hedge against inflation.

Factors influencing gold prices

Gold Demand: Backed by financial and cultural value globally and applications across technology to jewellery, gold has immense value.

Dollar Value: A fall in the US dollar results in a rise in the value of other currencies. This boosts the buying power, consequently increasing the demand for the precious metal.

Monetary Policy: Low-interest rate environment is seen to be significantly positive for gold.

Macro Aspects: Amid situations including financial stress, and political instability, gold is considered a safe-haven investment alternative as it is a store of value.

Inflation: Gold tends to perform solidly amid high-inflation and deflation scenarios wherein there is a steep rise in financial stress.
