What is metals trading?
Metals split into two camps. Precious metals — gold, silver, platinum, palladium — are stores of value and classic safe havens. Base metals like copper and aluminium are industrial inputs whose price tracks the health of global manufacturing.
Gold (XAU/USD) is the headline act: traders use it to hedge inflation, currency weakness and risk-off shocks. Because it is quoted against the dollar, it also moves on US rate expectations as much as on demand for the metal itself.
At Bondricks you trade metals as margined CFDs — long or short, in fractions of a standard lot — with the same transparent pricing and risk controls that run across every Bondricks market.

FAQ
Metals trading — your questions answered
Gold is a long-standing store of value that often rises when currencies weaken, inflation climbs or markets turn risk-averse — so traders use it both to speculate and to hedge other positions.
Because gold is priced in dollars, US interest-rate expectations and the strength of the dollar are major drivers, alongside safe-haven demand during periods of geopolitical or market stress.
Precious metals (gold, silver, platinum, palladium) are valued as stores of wealth and havens; base metals (copper, aluminium) are industrial inputs whose price tracks manufacturing and construction demand.
Yes. Both are available as margined CFDs, with metals eligible for leverage of up to 1:500.
