Commodity Trading Forex Brokers in France

Like most other major EU countries, France is also home to a number of CFD & forex brokers, some of which offer commodity trading in the form of CFDs. As in all of the EU, however, commodity trading brokers and other forex & CFD brokers are strictly regulated by both the national regulator and the EU regulator ESMA. As a result, leverage for commodity trading is limited to just 1:20 for gold and 1:10 for other commodities.

Due to the strict leverage regulations in France, some French commodity CFD traders have migrated over to non-EU-based brokers that offer higher leverage. That includes a number of both unregulated and regulated offshore CFD brokers, but also many well-regulated Switzerland and New Zealand-based brokers.
