How commodity CFDs work and what makes them distinct
Commodity CFDs track the price of underlying commodities such as metals, energies or agricultural products without requiring you to hold futures contracts or physical goods. Many commodity CFDs are priced from futures markets, which introduces mechanics worth understanding: contracts may roll from one futures expiry to the next, and brokers handle rollovers with adjustments that affect open positions. Some instruments are quoted as spot-style prices with daily financing instead. Commodity prices can move sharply on supply, weather and macroeconomic news, and combined with leverage this creates fast gains and losses. These are general features of the product type, not confirmed details of any Hantec Markets offering.
- Futures-based commodity CFDs may involve rollover adjustments when the underlying contract changes.
- Spot-style commodity CFDs typically accrue overnight financing charges instead of expiring.
- Commodity markets can gap on news, and stops may fill at worse prices than requested.
- Contract sizes and tick values vary widely between commodities, so position sizing needs care.
