WHAT IS METAL TRADING?
Precious metals, like gold and silver, rare, naturally occurring elements which have high economic value. The price of these metals can offer an insight into the health of an economy because they are viewed as a relative safe haven during tough economic conditions.
With a Vantage live trading account, you can try trading these precious metals via Contract for Differences (CFDs). By trading CFDs on precious metals, you can stand to seize trading opportunities on the rise or fall in prices of these products, without having to own the physical metal. You can also go long or short when trading CFDs.
Trading of precious metals through CFDs is not limited to a specific time of day, providing traders, including those in Thailand, Phillipines, and other regions, the flexibility to take positions throughout the day. Popular products to trade include XAUUSD, XAGUSD and XAUAUD.

TYPES OF METALS
-
Gold
Our Gold products afford a versatile avenue for portfolio diversification, furnishing a compelling alternative to traditional investments in gold bullion, coins, and mining stocks. They also provide ongoing trading opportunities, as gold price movements are sensitive to economic uncertainty and changes of geopolitical risk. It is also coined as a safe haven product, with its inverse correlation to the stock markets, making it a good hedging tool for investors and traders, whether you are from South Africa, Kenya, Botswana, Nigeria, or beyond.
-
Silver
Silver, a favoured precious metal for trading, offers a secure investment alternative during economic turbulence, much like gold. Its affordability, coupled with its diverse industrial applications, such as electronics and solar panel production, influences its pricing, which is tied to industrial output. You can invest in physical silver as bullion or via derivative products like CFDs. Our silver price chart supports various trading strategies over short-term and long-term timeframes.
-
Copper
Copper is a soft, malleable and highly ductile metal whose utility lies in its superior electrical conductivity and its ubiquitous presence as a trace element in all living organisms. With copper mines located all around the world, copper has been a globally traded commodity since ancient Roman times. It is also one of the major indicators of the overall health of the world economy.

Which is the best metal to trade?
Deciding which precious metal – gold, silver, copper or platinum – to trade depends on their unique advantages, as well as personal trader preferences and goals.
Gold, the most favoured and highly traded metal, is closely trailed by silver, whose dual-status as a value store and industrial metal often gives it an edge. Copper is one of the major indicators through which investors and traders, including from Phillipines, Thailand, or beyond can measure the overall health of the world economy. Platinum may not rival gold or silver in investment popularity, but its trend-sensitive nature can appeal to traders. -
4
Is it worth investing in metal?
Investment in precious metals serves as a robust safeguard against inflation, potential currency depreciation, and economic uncertainty due to volatility.
Furthermore, it can contribute to portfolio diversification, thereby mitigating the aggregate risk by incorporating assets with minimal correlation to other markets, including stocks and bonds. -
5
What are the risks of investing in metals?
Some risks associated with investing in precious metals include price volatility, liquidity concerns, storage and security issues, and potential regulatory changes.
It is crucial to carefully consider these risks, conduct thorough research and put in place the right risk management strategies before investing in precious metals.
