Commodities
Commodities
Prices for commodity cash CFDs are synthetically created using the two most liquid futures contracts. This will result in a natural movement between these two contract prices and will be included in overnight funding adjustments. You'll then either be debited or credited depending on if you're long or short, and whether the next future contract price is higher or lower.
Commodity funding is based on the market cost of carry, plus an admin fee of 3% per annum.
The ‘front month contract’, the one with the closest expiry date, is labelled ‘A’ in our diagram. The one with the second-nearest expiry date is called the ‘back month contract’ and is labelled ‘B’.
In between these two expiry points, our price gradually moves from the price of ‘A’ towards the price of ‘B’. The price of ‘B’ can be higher or lower than the price of ‘A’.
As with all of our spot markets, you'll pay to hold your position overnight. Due to how our spot commodities are priced, we apply an overnight adjustment – split into two aspects. The first of these is a nightly basis adjustment, which reflects a day’s movement of our spot price from the earlier future contract to the later one. The second is our 3% annual admin fee.
The difference in price between two contracts is dependent on the commodity and market conditions and can vary substantially. When the difference between these underlying futures prices is amplified, the number of points our market would move daily also increases. As such, we increase the adjustment.
It is important to note that the increase only relates to the adjustment. This is a response to market conditions, like a dividend adjustment on an index, rather than a charge. The only aspect of the adjustment which is a charge is our admin fee, which remains at 3% for standard CFD contracts regardless of market conditions.
