Energy
Energy trading takes advantage of fluctuations in the prices of certain commodity markets, such as oil, gas, gasoline and heating oil. Energy commodities are some of the most important markets in the world because they set the price of our daily consumption.
The most typical feature of energy prices is their high volatility. This happens because of the influence of numerous political and environmental factors. A number of supply and demand factors also affect energy prices, the largest of which is global economic growth. During periods of economic prosperity, energy demand also increases, while during periods of economic stagnation, consumption decreases.
Crude oil is an internationalized, 24-hour open market and its price is constantly moving. This makes crude oil an ideal commodity for day traders looking for fast movements and choosing CFDs as the easiest way to trade the price of oil.
