What is Metal Trading?
Metals trading is closely linked to the outlook for the overall global
markets, and major currencies
and metals are traded against major currencies in a similar way to other
currency pairs on the
platform.
Factors affecting precious metal prices include supply and demand, interest
rates, economic
uncertainty, industrial output, and the dollar's strength with precious
metals like gold
traditionally viewed as a safe haven in times of volatility. Traders can
trade metals to express
their outlook on certain industries or to hedge their trading portfolio.
