Trade Commodities Online with IQ Option

Hard commodities are mined or extracted — gold, silver, oil, natural gas. Soft commodities are grown or farmed — wheat, coffee, cotton, sugar. The distinction matters because soft commodities react more to weather and harvest cycles, while hard commodities respond more to geopolitics and industrial demand.

Through a CFD (Contract for Difference), which mirrors a commodity's price without transferring ownership. You open a position predicting whether the price will rise or fall, and your profit or loss is based on the difference between your entry and exit price — not on holding any oil, metal, or grain.

Commodity CFDs are traded on margin, so leverage varies by asset — check the exact multiplier on each asset card above. Higher leverage means a smaller deposit controls a larger position, but it also scales both potential profit and potential loss.

Most commodity CFDs follow standard market hours and close on weekends, the same as the underlying futures markets. The Gold/Silver ratio pair is the exception — it stays open via Blitz and Binary options, letting you trade its price movement even when standard Gold markets are closed.

The minimum deposit is $10, and you can open a position with as little as $1 — the same minimums that apply across IQ Option's markets.
