The Metals Market
It refers to the financial space where various precious metals, such as gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, are traded. These metals are considered valuable due to their rarity, unique properties, and their use in various industries. Investors can participate in metal trading by buying and selling futures contracts, options, and other financial instruments related to these assets.
The advantage of trading in the metals market lies in portfolio diversification and the ability to serve as a safe haven during periods of economic uncertainty or volatility in other markets. Precious metals, especially gold, have historically preserved their value over time and are considered safe-haven assets during crises. Additionally, the demand for metals in various industries such as jewelry, electronics, and medicine can create investment opportunities and long-term growth potential.
By trading metals at QCG Markets, investors can leverage these characteristics and gain a competitive edge in the dynamic precious metals market.

Important Information for the Metals Market
Swap values may be adjusted daily based on market conditions and the prices provided by our price provider, which apply to all open trades. Triple swaps are applied every Wednesday. Swaps for XAU and XAG are expressed in pips per lot. The server time varies depending on the season: in winter, it is GMT+2, and in summer, it is GMT+3 (Daylight Saving Time), which starts on the last Sunday of March and ends on the last Sunday of October. During the time interval between 23:55 and 00:05 server time, there may be increased spreads and reduced liquidity due to the daily bank rollover. If spreads and liquidity are inadequate during the bank rollover, spreads may widen, and excessive slippage may occur. Therefore, during those moments, orders may not be executed.
A commission charge per lot will apply on both opening and closing, depending on the account type.
