The basics

What is metals trading?

Metals trading lets you speculate on the price of precious metals like gold (XAU) and silver (XAG), or industrial metals like platinum and palladium — without owning the physical asset. You trade CFDs that track the live spot price.

Metals are widely used as a hedge against inflation and market uncertainty, making them a core part of many diversified strategies.

With ProPrimeFX you can trade:

  • Precious metals — gold, silver, platinum and palladium
  • Metal-to-USD pairs quoted at live spot prices
  • Long or short positions to profit in either direction

How it works

How metals trading works

Metals are quoted against the US dollar at their live spot price. You go long if you expect the price to rise, or short if you expect it to fall — trading a CFD rather than the physical metal.

Example: If you expect gold to rise, you buy XAU/USD. If the spot price climbs from 2320 to 2340, your long position gains value.

Leverage magnifies both profits and losses — which is why risk management is essential.
