What is Metals trading?
Metals, part of Commodities, are some of the most popular asset classes that you can trade in financial markets. Gold, silver, copper and other metals are considered safe haven assets by both investors and traders.
Gold continues to be a great way to diversify an investment portfolio, since traders tend to open gold positions when markets experience a downturn. Geopolitical tensions also tend to boost the demand for gold, whether short-term or long-term. Other factors that can impact the prices of precious metals such as gold, silver, copper, etc., are supply/demand and major bank monetary policy adjustments, including interest rate decisions.
Trading Metal CFDs enables you to access the metals market and benefit from their price movements, without owning the underlying assets thus freeing you from any ownership obligations. By opening an VTIFX trading account, you can trade gold, silver, copper, and others using advanced trading platforms and tools. VTIFX gives traders access to the latest financial insights and technical analysis prepared by experienced analysts to help you prepare your strategy against potential market adversity.

Why Trade Index CFDs with VTIFX?
Precious metals are among the Top Commodities to trade. Metals are classified as a hard commodity as they are mined from the earth or extracted from natural resources. Through Contracts For Difference (CFDs), you can gain exposure to metals markets in a unique way that provides a wide range of advantages.
Margin Trading
As CFDs are a leveraged product, you can open large positions by depositing only the margin required. As metals such as gold have high levels of liquidity, commodity trading offers higher levels of leverage than many other tradable instruments.
Go 'Long' or 'Short'
By trading Metal CFDs, going 'long' or 'short' you can speculate in both rising and falling prices. The ability to open short positions and benefit from falling prices is another aspect of CFD trading and one that may create additional trading opportunities.
Risk Management
Advanced trading platforms such as MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader and TradingView offer cutting edge risk management tools. Their features include a large range of charting tools but also a multitude of order types and alerts to ensure that you are made aware of any changes to market conditions.
Factors Affecting Precious Metal Prices
Supply and Demand
Supply and demand are among the factors that may influence the prices of metals in the market. A shortage of a certain metal could raise its prices, while increased supply could cause values to drop. Technological advancements can also boost the demand for a specific metal.
Financial Data Releases
Financial reports related to Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate and interest rate decisions can impact metals’ prices. Economic data releases coming from the US tend to shape gold prices, so traders should stay up to date.
Monetary Policies
Monetary policy decisions by the boards of major central banks can affect precious metal prices. Traders should give special attention to the US Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate decisions which tend to influence gold prices.
Geopolitical Tensions
Geopolitical tensions, such as wars, low intensity conflicts, government changes or political crises, can play a role in shaping precious metals’ prices. Market uncertainty deriving from such events leads investors and traders to buy safe-haven assets like gold.
