Which markets to trade? Trading Commodities. http://www.contracts-for-difference.com/markets/cfd-markets.html PLEASE LIKE AND SHARE THIS VIDEO SO WE CAN DO MORE! So commodities we have the obvious ones like Gold, Crude Oil, Silver, Cocoa, Coffee, Platinum..etc. There are two types of traded oil; West Texas Intermediate (WTI) which is the USA crude and Brent Blend. Both follow each other closely although they do diverge at times. Traditionally OPEC and global demand dominated the Oil markets but the shale oil industry revolution in the USA is changing the landscape.
Gold and Oil are the most common traded commodities - and have quite tight spreads which is good for both swing trading or day trading. Oil has recently experienced some wild moves. Gold has been quiet recently but we've experienced some sharp moves in Gold in the last few years as well. Silver is more volatile than gold although they do tend to follow each other. Copper is a very industrial based markets and depends on the demand in China and emerging markets in particular. The point is that you need to find something that suits you. Commodities like cotton and orange juice for instance are less traded and are likely to have wider spreads. If you are looking to day trade such markets the size of the bid-offer spreads is very important.
