Trade commodities with Focus Markets
What are commodities?
Brent Oil
The Brent Oil (BCO/USD) price is influenced by the same factors that affect the oil industry worldwide, including discrepancies between supply and demand, geopolitical events, and the price of the American dollar.
WTI Oil
WTI is crude oil produced and distributed primarily in North America. It’s one of the three main oil benchmarks along with Brent Oil and Dubai crude. The price difference between the top two, Brent and WTI, is known as the Brent-WTI spread.
Gold
Metals are regarded as safe haven assets since their limited supply keeps their prices stable in the long term. Gold is one of the best financial instruments for traders wanting to diversify their portfolio and hedge against instability in the Forex and equity markets.
Silver
Silver is simultaneously and heavily utilised as a precious metal and an industrial metal, making the dynamics of the silver market more complex, with supply and demand having a bigger impact on its value.
