Commodities are bulk-produced raw materials traded globally. They include energy resources such as crude oil and natural gas, as well as precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum. Pricing for commodities is influenced by various factors including supply and demand dynamics, political stability, currency fluctuations, and overall economic health.

The commodity market offers a diverse array of financial instruments for trading, with precious metals and energies being among the most prominent.

Some traders leverage the volatility of energy commodities to profit from frequent price shifts, while others turn to gold as a safe haven asset to hedge their portfolios.

At Vida Market, you have the opportunity to trade derivatives linked to the world's most actively traded commodities, including USOIL, XNGUSD, UKOIL, XAUUSD, XAGUSD, and XPTUSD.

Precious metals such as gold, silver, and platinum, along with energy products like crude oil, UK oil, and natural gas, are among the most sought-after commodities for trading. Precious metals enjoy enduring popularity due to their finite supply and consistent demand. Meanwhile, energy commodities hold appeal as investments due to their responsiveness to global events, making them sensitive to market fluctuations.

When engaging in commodity trading or investment, it's essential to factor in key risk elements such as market volatility, leverage, and currency exchange rate fluctuations. Market volatility refers to rapid price changes over a defined period, a critical consideration in commodity transactions.

In trading the global commodity market, fundamental factors like political stability, supply and demand dynamics, and economic indicators must be weighed. Staying informed with current market developments is vital for crafting a resilient and sophisticated commodity trading strategy. Additionally, it's imperative to recognize that leveraged trading in commodities can amplify potential losses without a sound risk management approach.

During significant news releases, heightened market volatility and price gaps are common occurrences. Employing high leverage in such volatile conditions entails increased risk, as abrupt movements can lead to substantial losses. To mitigate this risk, leverage is capped at 1:200 for all new positions in gold and silver pairs during news releases.

At Vida Market, we understand the frustration of pending orders falling into price gaps. That's why we offer a no-slippage guarantee for almost all pending orders executed at least 3 hours after trading opens for an instrument. However, certain conditions may necessitate execution at the first market quote following the gap:

• If your pending order is executed during abnormal market conditions, such as low liquidity or high volatility.
• If your pending order lands in a gap, but the difference in pips between the first market quote (post-gap) and the requested order price equals or exceeds a specified number of pips (known as the gap level value) for that particular instrument.

Please note that gap level regulation applies to specific trading instruments.
