WHAT IS GOLD TRADING?

Gold is a popular precious metal known for its rarity, decay resistance, and malleability, having been valued for creating luxury goods and decorative items for years. Traders, whether in India, Philippines, Thailand or elsewhere, can appreciate its enduring appeal. Its enduring worth and resilience also establishes gold as a sought-after safe haven asset that can stand the test of time.

The increasing demand has contributed to its ever-rising price of gold.

With a Vantage gold trading account, you can try trading gold via Contract for Differences (CFDs). By trading CFD gold (XAUUSD), you can seize trading opportunities on the rise or fall in prices of these products. Start trading CFD gold without having to own the physical metal.

WHY TRADE GOLD

CFD gold trading is the best option to traders for stability, security, long-term value & good returns.
Excellent Hedge Against Inflation: Gold is often seen as a safe haven during economic instability, as its value tends to rise when the purchasing power of currency declines. Liquidity: Gold is highly liquid and can be easily bought or sold in most markets around the world, making it a convenient asset for quick transactions. Portfolio Diversification: Gold trading provides a way to diversify an investment portfolio, reducing overall risk by balancing more volatile investments like stocks or bonds. Tangible Asset: Unlike stocks or bonds, gold is a physical asset that investors can hold, which provides a sense of security and tangibility. Global Demand: Gold has a strong and consistent demand worldwide, particularly in industries like jewellery, electronics, and central bank reserves. No Credit Risk: Gold trading involves direct ownership of a physical commodity, so it is not exposed to the credit risk that other financial assets might have.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ON GOLD TRADING

  • 1

    How do you start gold trading?

    There are several ways to engage in gold trading. This includes buying and selling spot gold, gold futures, gold options, CFD gold or investing in gold stocks and ETFs.

    To execute a trade on Vantage, you'll require a live trading account. This enables traders, including those in the Philippines, India, and various other regions, to participate in the gold market and seize trading opportunities on gold price movements.

  • 2

    Is trading gold profitable?

    Gold is a dynamic and frequently traded market, known for its liquidity and price volatility. Engaging in gold trading can offer potential opportunities for profitability, provided you develop a robust trading system that suits your individual preferences and goals.

    However, it is essential to acknowledge the inherent risks associated with gold trading. Losses can occur, and it is crucial to exercise due diligence before making any trades. It is advisable to trade only with funds that you can afford to lose, ensuring that your financial stability remains intact.

  • 3

    How risky is gold trading?

    Trading CFD gold carries risks owing to market fluctuations. One key factor for price change is caused by the supply and demand of the metal.

    For example, if a mining company underperforms, demand may exceed supply, pushing gold prices higher. Financial stress can also increase demand for gold. For instance, during the 2008–12 financial crisis, gold prices surged by more than 230%.

    Geopolitical events can also drive investors to seek the safety of gold, causing price fluctuations. On the contrary, with its negative correlation to the stock market, Gold tends to fall when stocks are doing well. Ultimately, CFD gold traders should do their due diligence to ensure that they understand the market and risks involved.

    How much money do you need to trade gold?

    When using Vantage, you have the option to begin trading gold with a minimum deposit of USD$50.

    Trading CFD gold offers traders the opportunity to leverage their capital, enabling them to open larger trade positions with a relatively small amount of funds. Leverage has the potential to amplify profits.

    However, it is important to note that it also exposes traders to the risk of losses that may exceed the margin available in their gold trading accounts. It is crucial to exercise caution and carefully manage risk when utilising leverage in gold trading or any other financial markets.

    Try trading CFD gold today by opening a gold trading account with Vantage.

    How to invest in gold for beginners?

    Exchange traded funds (ETFs) are the best way for a beginner to invest in gold. You can start your trading journey with Vantage by opening a live or demo account. A gold ETF has the advantage of having indirect ownership of physical gold. This presents a less risky option for traders in regions such as India, Philippines, and other parts of the world.

    Some examples of gold ETFs are SPDR Gold Minishares Trust ETF (GLDM) and iShares Gold Trust (IAU), although there are others. Click here to read more about ETF trading and how you can trade ETFs with Vantage.
