Commodities make up some of the world’s most important and widely traded physical goods. ‘Soft’ commodities are agricultural products, like coffee, cocoa, and soybean. There are also ‘hard’ commodities which are usually mined or extracted. When you trade agricultural commodities with Axi, you are not buying a physical asset such as beans of cocoa or coffee. Instead, you simply trade (buy or sell) on the price movement of the underlying asset through CFDs.
For coffee, the trading hours are Monday to Friday, 04:15 - 13:29 (New York Time).
For cocoa, the trading hours are Monday to Friday, 04:15 - 13:29 (New York Time).
For soybean, the trading hours are Sunday to Friday, 19:00 - 13:19 (Chicago Time).
Just like other markets, supply-and-demand can heavily influence the direction of prices. When the demand prevails the ability to supply, prices rise. In contrast, when there's increased supply, the prices decrease. Factors that can affect supply-and-demand include, among others, weather volatility, geopolitical events, distribution costs, and even the strength of the US dollar.
Commodity CFDs let you speculate on prices without owning the underlying shares. You enter a contract with Axi to exchange the difference in the commodities price between the contract's start and end.
While leverage has the potential to amplify gains, it can also lead to significant losses since prices can fluctuate rapidly and unexpectedly. If the market moves against your position, you may be required to deposit additional funds to maintain your open trade. Failure to meet a margin call can result in your positions being closed at a loss. In volatile market conditions, it might be difficult to close your position at the desired price. Sudden market movements can cause prices to "gap" over your stop-loss orders, potentially leading to larger-than-anticipated losses.
