Important
- Swaps values may be adjusted daily based on market conditions and rates provided by our Price Provider applicable to all open positions. Triple swaps are applied every Wednesday.
- Server Times: Winter: GMT+2 and Summer: GMT+3 (DST) (last Sunday of March and ends last Sunday of October).
- During the time period from 23:55 to 00:05 server time increased spreads and decreased liquidity can take place due to daily bank rollover. In case of inadequate liquidity/spreads during bank rollover, widened spreads and excessive slippage may occur. Therefore orders may not be executed during these times.

What Is Metals Trading?
Metals trading involves buying and selling commodities like gold, silver, copper, and platinum in global financial markets. These precious and industrial metals are influenced by factors like supply and demand, geopolitical events, and economic conditions. With OpalX, you can trade metal CFDs to capitalize on price movements without owning the physical asset.
Metal trading can be done through physical delivery or CFDs (Contracts for Difference). With CFDs, you don’t own the physical metal but can still benefit from price changes using leverage. OpalX offers flexible trading conditions, enabling you to maximize your market exposure with minimal capital investment.
Both individual investors and large financial institutions like hedge funds and banks participate in metal trading. Whether you’re hedging against inflation, speculating on short-term price movements, or investing for long-term growth, trading metal CFDs with OpalX offers a versatile and accessible market experience.
