Mechanics
How commodities works here
Rolled, never delivered
Before the underlying contract expires, positions are rolled to the next month and a cash adjustment is applied for the price difference. No physical commodity changes hands.
Seasonality is structural
Energy inventories, planting and harvest cycles and weather events move these markets on a schedule that has little to do with equity or currency drivers.
Costs
What a position costs
Four things can affect the cost of holding this instrument. All of them are shown before you confirm an order.
Widens materially during the daily break and around inventory reports.
Commodity CFDs are spread-only.
A neutral cash adjustment for the price gap between contract months.
Charged on notional exposure for positions held past 21:00 UTC.
Specific risks in commodities
Commodity prices react to inventory data, weather, transport disruption and geopolitical events, often with little warning and in large single moves. Natural gas and agricultural contracts in particular can move several percent within minutes of a scheduled report.
