The UK Commodities Futures Spread Trading review with quick and simple answers to common commodities futures spread trading questions:
UK Commodities Futures Spread Trading, 18 November 2011
Gold has really burnt the fingers of some of our spread betting account holders as it saw a very sharp sell off yesterday taking the precious metal down to the $1720 area.
There was even a big gap lower of some 100 points and it looks like a bit of profit taking is creeping in following hedge fund legend Paulson's big liquidation of some big exposure he had to gold.
For now the yellow brick has found support around $1720 and is at $1727 at the time of writing.
The sell off in risk assets has also affected crude oil with Brent dipping below $110 yesterday as the weakness in gold rubbed off on oil markets. This morning Brent is at $108.85.
UK Commodities Futures Spread Trading, 17 November 2011
Fighting against the strengthening dollar, gold found it hard to make ground yesterday. Not only this but a US Labour Department report saw a 0.1% decline in consumer prices against September’s figure, which accentuated the fact that gold was a needless hedge against inflation, thus reducing the demand for the yellow metal.
There was an interesting media report in yesterday’s session though. Jon Paulson, one of the larger holders of gold ETF’s, has just dumped a third of his stack, worth around $2 billion.
So by the close of business, the precious metal had slumped $17 dollars to $1763.3 and, at the time of writing, gold is pretty much flat at $1764.7.
The announcement that the Seaway pipeline will be reversed brought great optimism to the energy sector yesterday. Investors piled into the crude oil spread betting market, as its thought that congestion formed at the Cushing, Oklahoma hub, will now be eased.
So for the first time in several months, the gap between the WTI and Brent contracts moved down into single digits. Currently Brent on the January future trades at $111.78.
UK Commodities Futures Spread Trading, 16 November 2011
The gold spread betting market has not proven to keep its safe haven status intact.
Usually you would expect the precious metal to be storming higher and testing at least the recent high around the $1800 level before an even greater push towards the all time high again.
However, this time the bounce we've seen in the past following a bout of weakness has not been forthcoming. At the time of writing gold is at $1771.
Price Update:
- Brent Crude Oil / UK Oil (December) closed yesterday at $112.39
- WTI Nymex / US Oil (December) closed yesterday at $99.37
UK Commodities Futures Spread Trading, 15 November 2011
Eurozone members that have been worst hit by the debt crisis were subject to a political reshuffle yesterday, sending worrying investors into the safety of the US dollar and out of gold.
Reports have stated that current trading volumes are minute; the only people left in the markets seem to be short term speculators, with the long term holders taking a peripheral view for the time being.
So all in all, yesterday’s session saw the yellow brick lose $7.5 to close at $1779.8, which at time of writing has been extended down to $1770.1.
Despite the changes in Greece and Italy’s political system, showing a want for reduction of the current deficits, crude oil pulled back from the recent highs as the bears took hold of the session yesterday.
Not only did the persistent concerns on the European debt crisis keep downward pressure on the price of black gold, but also the strengthening dollar. At time of writing this pressure has been eased somewhat as Brent trades higher at $112.05.
UK Commodities Futures Spread Trading, 14 November 2011
The gold spread betting market was in favour on Friday as the fear of Italy joining Greece in the cess pit receded and investors returned to the yellow metal, helping push the price higher.
Investors watching gold’s price of late may view it as being caught between two factors.
On the one hand, there would be the bearishness of a sovereign default, which could trigger a liquidation run from holders needing to cover margin calls elsewhere.
In contrast, there would also be support provided by the uncertainty over potential economic bankruptcies.
The weakening US dollar helped keep the precious metal higher on Friday and all in all gold added $32.5 to its price, finishing at $1790.7.
With the weakening US dollar and strengthening stock market indices, the appetites of energy investors were wetted on Friday and hence the price was pushed to new recent highs.
Traders will still have lingering concerns over faltering Europe though and, with signs of a slowdown in China, the world’s second highest oil consumer, the road ahead may not be smooth for black gold’s price. This morning Brent is at $113.15.

UK Commodities Futures Spread Trading, 11 November 2011
Gold has spent the last couple of days oscillating following its little correction. Bullish spread trading clients have been attracted into buying at these levels no doubt expecting a retest of $1800 and at the time of writing we're at $1766.
The precious metal probably needs a trigger to get back up there, rather like the trigger mentioned above that would send indices lower if it came.
As a result, all eyes will be on the progress with today's votes in Italy so see if that's the trigger that will spark the next bout of volatility.
Brent has also been clawing back some of the mild losses of recent days, which as mentioned earlier this week had broken out to the upside causing many bulls to get excited that this was the next leg higher.
For now the bulls are biding their time with Brent trading just higher at $114.10.
UK Commodities Futures Spread Trading, 10 November 2011
Even though gold is considered to be a safe haven it hasn't managed to capitalise on the recent turmoil within the markets.
Rejecting $1800 only a couple of days ago has seen it retrace back to $1760 at the time of writing.
The uptrend remains in tact and so bulls are probably sitting on the sidelines waiting to dip back in again as this little bout of weakness could present them a buying opportunity.
Crude oil prices have also suffered selling in line with the risk off trade of the past few days.
Just when the Brent crude oil spread betting market looked like it had made a little breakout to the upside, the market turns negative again.
This has shown that any traders who've been opposing any recent rallies and falls would have done rather well, as markets have stuck within a relatively narrow trading range. This morning Brent is at $112.40.
UK Commodities Futures Spread Trading, 9 November 2011
Spread betting investors didn’t seem to pay attention to the fact that gold broke the psychologically important level of $1800.0, not reached since Sept 21st, in yesterday’s session.
The precious metal actually ended the day down $8.7 at $1786.8 after Italy, the newest member of the EU to find itself struggling in the current economic climate, was perceived as being solvent but having liquidity issues.
Now that the Italian Prime Minister has announced he will step down, it looks as though investors think there will be less uncertainty and therefore are booking profits in gold, allowing them to dip into riskier assets.
The US dollar was out of favour yesterday as risk-on trading was the day’s leader.
Traders were in search for higher-yielding assets like equities and commodities, where crude oil is at the top of the list.
Fundamentally, the need for crude oil in the US has slumped recently but on the other hand a decline in supply has been reported, bringing support back.
Iranian issues were also back on the agenda, threatening to disrupt supplies, as a leaked report indicated that the International Atomic Energy Agency is about to accuse the Middle Eastern country of running a nuclear weapons program.
UK Commodities Futures Spread Trading, 8 November 2011
Since the 6th September, gold has seen 20% erased from its price after investors have sought new safety havens and banked profits from the precious metal. This slump ended on the 25th and now a recovery path is being formed once more.
Yesterday’s session saw the metal’s safety haven status return as a $30 rally took place, bringing the yellow brick up to $1794.5.
The dominating reason behind this hike was the concern that Italy isn’t far off from joining Greece in the dog house after reporting that borrowing costs were at all time highs. At time of writing the shiny metal is having a breather and trading down at $1787.9.
Despite the limited gains in the equity markets and the small increase in the US dollar, crude oil spread betting prices furthered their gains during yesterday’s trading.
One would look at the black gold’s trading and assume that it is more driven by the resilient US economy, as opposed to the faltering Eurozone.
With commodities analysis supporting the rally, peripheral investors may be waiting to get involved once key upside levels have been reached. Brent currently sits at $115.39.
UK Commodities Futures Spread Trading, 7 November 2011
The risk off trade is helping push gold higher to $1767, just off its highs of the morning. The precious metal has had a good week or so, having attracted buyers ever since dipping back towards $1600 at the end of October.
Gradually, slowly but surely the precious metal has got itself within touching distance of $1800 again.
The bulls are trying to re-establish the upward trend and seem to be making a good fist of it. Our spread betting account holders remain bullish of the metal and would no doubt dearly love a return to the all time highs.
Brent crude oil is remarkably flat considering the risk off session in equities. It’s off its highs above $113 from the Asian session which has brought it back to $112 at the time of writing, with the black stuff seemingly seeing any major moves to the upside contained.
