Futures Trading enables a potential investor to take a leveraged position in commodities without the requirement to outlay the total capital requirement. An initial margin of between 2% and 10% would enable an investor to open a Futures contract. In effect this provides the investor with the ability to buy or sell a commodity at a pre determined date in the future, at the price at which the commodity is trading at the time at which it is bought or sold.

There are a huge range of commodities which can be traded, such as gold and other precious metals, oil, food products such as coffee and rice, as well as gas, electricity, oil, currencies as well as interest rates, bank base rates and a lot more. There are a wide range of future’s brokers, some of which will specialise in particular areas of the market, we have a broad selection of general brokers, offering some highly competitive rates of commission and margins.
