In the Forex market, it’s gold, silver. Gold is obviously the most attractive and the most traded one. However, the other ones, especially silver, showed that they can be very volatile, too, and hence, provide a lot of trading opportunities. Potentially, including precious metals into your portfolio may not only diversity it but increase its long-term profitability.

Crude oil is the primary commodity from the energy sector. It is much more than a resource that allows us to have petrol, gasoline, and other chemical components – it’s a geopolitical asset. That’s why its price fluctuates a lot due to a number of factors, and potentially provides a lot of investment and trading opportunities. You can trade two primary brands of crude oil with FBS: WTI and Brent.

To trade oil and gas online, you need to open an account with a reliable and licensed broker such as FBS. Then go to MetaTrader 5 or the FBS Trader app and find the energies you want to trade: Brent (XBRUSD), WTI (XTIUSD), or gas (XNGUSD). You can trade energy commodities in both directions. For example, if you think Brent spot price will rise, open a long (buy) position. If you think it will fall, open a short (sell) position.
