WHAT IS GOLD?
Gold is a popular precious metal known for its rarity, decay resistance, and malleability, having been valued for creating luxury goods and decorative items for years. Traders, whether in South Africa, Kenya, Botswana, Nigeria, or elsewhere, can appreciate its enduring appeal. Its enduring worth and resilience also establishes gold as a sought-after safe haven asset that can stand the test of time.
The increasing demand for gold has contributed to its ever-rising price.
With a Vantage live trading account, you can try trading gold via Contract for Differences (CFDs). By trading gold (XAUUSD) CFDs, you can seize trading opportunities on the rise or fall in prices of these products, without having to own the physical metal.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
1
How do you trade in gold?
There are several ways to engage in gold trading, including buying and selling spot gold, gold futures, gold options, CFDs or investing in gold stocks and ETFs.
To execute a trade on Vantage, you'll require a live trading account. This enables traders, including those in South Africa, Kenya, Botswana, Nigeria, and various other regions, to participate in the gold market and seize trading opportunities on the price movements of gold. -
2
Is trading gold profitable?
Gold is a dynamic and frequently traded market, known for its liquidity and price volatility. Engaging in gold trading can offer potential opportunities for profitability, provided you develop a robust trading system that suits your individual preferences and goals.
However, it is essential to acknowledge the inherent risks associated with trading. Losses can occur, and it is crucial to exercise due diligence before making any trades. It is advisable to trade only with funds that you can afford to lose, ensuring that your financial stability remains intact. -
3
How risky is gold trading?
Trading gold carries risks owing to market fluctuations. One key factor for price change is caused by the supply and demand of the metal. For example, if a mining company underperforms, demand may exceed supply, pushing gold prices higher. Financial stress can also increase demand for gold. For instance, during the 2008–12 financial crisis, gold prices surged by more than 230%.
Geopolitical events can also drive investors to seek the safety of gold, causing price fluctuations. On the contrary, with its negative correlation to the stock market, Gold tends to fall when stocks are doing well. Ultimately, traders should do their due diligence to ensure that they understand the market and risks involved. -
4
How much money do you need to trade gold?
When using Vantage, you have the option to begin trading with a minimum deposit of USD$50.
Trading gold as a CFD offers traders the opportunity to leverage their capital, enabling them to open larger trade positions with a relatively small amount of funds. Leverage has the potential to amplify profits; however, it is important to note that it also exposes traders to the risk of losses that may exceed the margin available in their trading accounts. It is crucial to exercise caution and carefully manage risk when utilising leverage in gold trading or any other financial markets. -
5
How to invest in gold for beginners?
ETFs are the best way for a beginner to invest in gold. You can start your trading journey with Vantage by opening a live or demo account. A gold ETF has the advantage of having indirect ownership of physical gold, presenting a less risky option for traders in regions such as South Africa, Kenya, Botswana, Nigeria, and other parts of the world.
Some examples of gold ETFs are SPDR Gold Minishares Trust ETF (GLDM) and iShares Gold Trust (IAU), although there are others.
