Commodities CFDs – Fortis Reserve
Trade Commodities with CFDs

Access global metals, energies, and agricultural markets with flexible leverage—no warehouse receipts, no truck-loads of corn.

Why Commodities Matter

Oil fuels economies, wheat feeds billions, and gold anchors portfolios during turmoil. Commodity prices therefore move on weather, geopolitics, and macro-cycles—often in the opposite direction to equities. Adding commodities can diversify risk and open powerful tactical opportunities.

Spot, Futures … or CFDs?

Traditionally you had two choices:

Spot / Physical Futures Contract
Own or take delivery of the raw material Legal obligation to deliver / accept at expiry
Storage, insurance, transport costs Exchange margin, daily mark-to-market
100 % cash upfront High leverage, but fixed expiry & roll costs

Commodity CFDs give you the same price exposure as futures without delivery risk, warehouse fees, or contract expiry. You trade a cash-settled contract that mirrors ICE / CME front-month futures, going long or short with margin as low as 10 %.

How a Commodity CFD Works – Example

You believe Brent Crude will rally from supply disruptions.

  1. Buy 10 Brent CFDs at $85.00 (each CFD = 1 barrel).
  2. Initial margin (10 %) ≈ $85 × 10 × 0.10 = $85.
  3. Price jumps to $90.00. Difference = $5 × 10 = $50 profit (minus spread/overnight costs).
  4. Close position—cash credited instantly; no tanker truck shows up at your door.

Want to fade the rally instead? Simply sell the CFD first; you still settle the cash difference.

Advantages of Commodity CFDs

  • Long or short in one click – No uptick rule; hedge physical exposure or speculate on drops.
  • Zero delivery risk – Forget storage, spoilage, or quality differentials.
  • No contract rollover – We auto-switch to the next active month and adjust the price, so you hold positions as long as you wish.
  • Portfolio integration – Metals, energies, FX, indices and crypto on one multi-asset platform.
