ASIC Australian Forex Brokers offering Metals trading

Metals are among the most popular trading assets for independent traders, and are therefore offered by most forex & CFD brokers, including many Australian ASIC-regulated brokers. As an asset class, metals comprise the four precious metals gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, as well as more abundant industrial metals like copper, aluminum, and iron ore.

Gold is by far the most traded asset among all the metals that are available for trading, and this is a situation that has remained unchanged for a very long time. The yellow metal is often used by traders and investors as a hedge against inflation, and tends to rise in price during periods of financial and political turmoil.
