PRECIOUS METALS • XAU/USD

Trade Gold.
The world's ultimate safe haven.

Gold has been used as a store of wealth, a medium of exchange and a portfolio diversifier for thousands of years. Today, traders can gain exposure to gold prices without owning or storing the physical metal.

Gold Trading Basics

A market with thousands of years of history.

Gold holds a unique position in global financial markets. It has historically served as a medium of exchange, a store of wealth and a hedge during periods of economic uncertainty.

Today, traders do not need to physically own gold to gain exposure to its price. Gold can be traded through financial instruments such as CFDs, futures, options, ETFs and shares of gold mining companies.

When trading gold as a CFD, traders can speculate on both rising and falling markets. This means it is possible to go long when expecting gold prices to rise or go short when expecting prices to fall.

Accessing The Gold Market

Different ways to trade gold.

Traders and investors can gain exposure to gold through a range of financial products, each with different characteristics, risks and potential benefits.

01

Physical Gold

Physical gold can be purchased in the form of bullion bars and coins. While it provides direct ownership of the metal, storage, security and insurance costs are important considerations.

02

Gold Futures

Gold futures are contracts based on an agreed price and future date. Futures can offer liquidity and leverage, although contracts have expiry dates and may require rollover arrangements.

03

Gold CFDs

CFDs allow traders to speculate on gold price movements without owning the underlying metal. Traders can potentially benefit from both rising and falling markets.

04

Gold ETFs

Gold exchange-traded funds provide exposure to gold or gold-related assets through a managed investment vehicle.

05

Gold Mining Shares

Shares of gold mining companies can provide indirect exposure to gold. However, company performance, management and investor sentiment can also influence share prices.

06

Gold Options

Gold options provide the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell gold or a gold futures contract at a predetermined price and date.

What Moves Gold Prices

Understand the forces behind the market.

Gold prices can respond to a wide range of economic, political and market factors. Understanding these drivers can help traders build a more informed approach to the market.

Supply & Demand Jewellery, investment demand, industrial use and central bank activity can influence the balance between supply and demand.
US Dollar Gold is commonly priced in US dollars, meaning changes in the strength of the USD can influence the price of XAU/USD.
Interest Rates Changes in interest rates and monetary policy can influence investor demand for non-yielding assets such as gold.
Market Sentiment Economic uncertainty, financial stress and geopolitical risk can increase demand for gold as a potential safe-haven asset.
Central Banks Central bank purchases and sales can influence global gold demand and the amount of metal available in the market.
Inflation Expectations Gold is often monitored by investors as a potential hedge during periods of rising inflation and currency uncertainty.
The Safe-Haven Market

Why is gold considered a safe-haven asset?

Gold has maintained a unique position in financial markets for thousands of years. Its scarcity, durability and historical role as a store of value have made it an important asset during periods of uncertainty.

When confidence in financial markets, currencies or the global economy declines, some investors turn to gold as a potential way to diversify risk and preserve capital.

Gold and portfolio diversification

Gold prices can behave differently from traditional assets such as equities and currencies. As a result, some traders and investors use gold as part of a broader portfolio diversification strategy.
