South Africa is known as a regional hub for CFD brokers and traders in Africa, and that includes a large number of brokers that offer CFDs based on popular commodities. Important to point out about South Africa is that all forex & CFD brokers that operate there are regulated by a credible government agency, namely the South African Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA).
Trading commodities in the form of CFDs, instead of taking part in the commodity futures market directly, offer several advantages to independent traders. For example, margin requirements are typically much lower among CFD brokers than among futures brokers, which means that even traders with small trading accounts are able to join in. In addition, leverage is high and markets are open 24 hours a day, which makes these assets tradeable for both Africans and other people from all around the world.
