Different metals. Different lenses.

From monetary demand to industrial cycles.

Metals share some market forces, but their demand structures are not identical. Choose a lens to see how different drivers enter the story.

Monetary and investment demand

Gold can respond to real yields, the US dollar, reserve demand, investment flows and physical demand.

  • Real yields and the US dollar
  • Investment and reserve demand
  • Jewellery and physical supply
These categories overlap, and historical relationships can weaken or reverse.

What moves metals

From macro signals to physical supply.

Metals prices absorb changing expectations about policy, currencies, investment demand and physical supply.

01

Rates & real yields

Rate expectations can change the relative appeal of assets that do not pay interest.

02

The US dollar

Many metals are dollar-quoted, although the relationship changes over time.

03

Risk sentiment & flows

Policy, geopolitics and positioning can reshape demand and volatility.

04

Industrial demand

Manufacturing and energy technologies can matter especially for silver.

05

Mine & physical supply

Production, recycling and transport disruption can affect market balance.

06

Liquidity & data releases

Fast markets and major releases can change spreads and execution.

Know the risks

Market relationships change. Risk remains.

Metals CFDs are leveraged products and do not provide ownership, custody or delivery of physical metals.

Leverage enables exposure larger than margin committed, and losses can develop quickly.

01 What is a metals CFD?

A metals CFD provides exposure to changes in an available gold, silver or other metals reference price without physical ownership, custody or delivery.

02 Do gold and silver move for the same reasons?

Not exactly. Both can respond to the US dollar, rate expectations and risk sentiment, while silver may also reflect industrial demand and supply conditions more directly. Historical relationships do not guarantee future outcomes.

03 What costs can apply to metals CFDs?

Applicable costs may include spread, commission, overnight financing and currency conversion. Actual charges, contract size and trading hours must be confirmed against the relevant RG product specification.

04 Can I explore metals through a demo account?

Where available, a demo account can help you understand MT5, illustrative pricing and order controls with simulated funds before considering a live account.
