Financial Spread Betting on Gold
As with many markets, spreadbettors can financial spread trade the future value of commodities. ie, investors can financial spread trade on a specific commodities increasing or decreasing in value, eg trading on Gold to be worth more than $681.5 by 25 September 2007, the settlement date of the Gold (October) market.
Note that for the Gold market, you trade in $X per point, where a point is $0.1 of Gold movement. eg if your stake was $40 per point and the price of Gold moves $0.4 then that would be an $160 difference to your profit and loss.
So let's say you see the live quote on an online spread betting service and it displays a spread of $680.7 - $681.5. Let's also say that you've done your analysis and think that the Gold market will go up above $681.5 within the next month or so.
Therefore you buy at $681.5 for a stake of $20 per point.
If by the end date ie, 25 September 2007 the Gold the price settles at $682.5 you will have made a profit.
Your profit/loss would be calculated by taking the difference between the level the trade closed at, ie $682.5 and the price you bought at, ie $681.5.
Profits = (($682.5 - $681.5) / 0.1) x $20 per point stake.
= (1 / 0.1) x $20 per point stake.
= $200 profit.
However if the market did not move as you originally forecast and the market closed down at $680.5, you would have lost.
Loss = (($680.5 - $681.5) / 0.1) x $20 per point stake.
= (-1 / 0.1) x $20 per point stake.
= -$200 loss.
