Why trade metals
with FXON?

Precious metals have been a store of value for centuries. Trade them as CFDs to profit from both rising and falling prices without physical ownership.

Safe-Haven Assets

Gold and silver traditionally rise during economic uncertainty. Diversify your portfolio and hedge against inflation and currency risk.

Go Long or Short

Unlike physical metals, CFDs let you profit from falling prices too. Trade both directions with equal ease and flexibility.

High Leverage

Control large metal positions with a fraction of the capital. Leverage up to 1:500 on metals amplifies your trading potential.

Tight Spreads

Trade gold from just 12 cents spread. Our ECN pricing ensures competitive costs on every metals trade you place.

Nearly 24-Hour Trading

Metals trade nearly around the clock (23 hours/day, 5 days/week) with only a brief daily maintenance break.

No Storage Costs

Unlike physical bullion, metal CFDs require no vaults, insurance, or storage fees. Pure price speculation, zero overhead.

What moves
metal prices?

Understanding the key drivers helps you make informed trading decisions on precious metals.

01
US Dollar Strength

Gold and the USD tend to move inversely. A weaker dollar typically pushes gold higher as it becomes cheaper for foreign buyers.

02
Interest Rates

Higher interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding metals, often putting downward pressure on prices.

03
Geopolitical Risk

Political instability, wars, and trade tensions drive safe-haven demand. Gold historically spikes during global uncertainty.

04
Supply & Demand

Mining output, central bank reserves, industrial usage (silver, platinum), and jewelry demand all influence long-term pricing.

Frequently asked
questions

Metals CFD trading allows you to speculate on the price movements of precious metals like gold, silver, platinum, and palladium without physically owning them. You can profit from both rising and falling prices using leverage.

Precious metals trade nearly 24 hours a day, 5 days a week (Monday to Friday). There is a brief daily break from 22:00–23:00 GMT for server maintenance and settlement.

With FXON's leverage up to 1:500 and minimum lot size of 0.01, you can start trading gold with as little as $100 on a Classic ECN account. The margin required depends on your leverage setting and current gold price.

Historically, gold has served as a hedge against inflation and currency devaluation. When inflation rises and purchasing power falls, gold tends to appreciate. However, past performance does not guarantee future results, and trading involves risk.
