Commodities Brokers, 2026

Independent ranking of commodities brokers — covering oil, gold, silver, agricultural and industrial commodity contracts via spot, futures and CFDs. We compare actual cost per contract, verified regulator licences and platform realities, tracking broker-published spreads against the FCA, ASIC and CFTC registries. Each profile lists the regulated entity that applies in your jurisdiction, contract specifications and overnight financing rates. We don't reorder when an affiliate pays more — just what brokers themselves disclose.

Tracking commodities broker pricing

Commodity broker pricing varies by instrument type. Spot gold and silver typically charge $0.20-$1.00 spread per ounce. Oil CFDs use 3-5 pip spreads on Brent and WTI. Agricultural commodities (wheat, corn, coffee) trade with wider spreads due to lower retail volume. We capture per-contract reference figures and flag when the spread changes around contract roll dates.

Beyond spread, overnight financing (swap) accumulates daily on leveraged commodity positions — particularly important for oil where backwardation/contango affects long-vs-short carry. Each broker profile lists the venue (spot, CFD, futures), the regulated entity in your jurisdiction, and contract roll behaviour. Physically-delivered futures aren't available at most retail brokers.

How we score

Full methodology →

Editorial rating is a weighted score across four categories. The largest weight goes to actual per-lot trading cost, because it is the one metric every retail trader materially feels.

We verify regulator status against the FCA, ASIC, CySEC and other registries. Spread figures are broker-published — copied from each broker's specification page, not live-tracked. We do not run live execution tests, time withdrawals, or open support tickets.

Affiliate relationships do not move positions in this list. When a broker pays us more per lead, that shows in our paid-placement disclosure — not in the ordering.

Frequent questions

5
Should I trade commodity CFDs or futures?

CFDs offer smaller minimum sizes (good for $500 accounts), simpler tax treatment in many jurisdictions, but spreads tend to be wider and overnight financing accrues. Futures have tighter spreads and centralised clearing but require futures broker access (separate licensing) and larger account minimums. For active multi-week positions, futures usually beat CFDs cost-wise.

What's the typical spread on gold trading?

Spot gold (XAU/USD) trades at 0.20-0.50 spread on raw/ECN accounts at brokers like RoboForex and Tickmill, 0.30-0.80 on standard accounts. Gold futures (COMEX GC) carry 0.10 tick value but require futures-broker access. Gold CFDs are the most accessible for small accounts.

What's the difference between Brent and WTI oil?

WTI (West Texas Intermediate) is the US benchmark, traded on NYMEX, lighter and sweeter. Brent is the European/Atlantic benchmark, traded on ICE, slightly heavier. Spreads between them reflect transport and refining differences — historically Brent has traded $1-$10 over WTI. Most CFD brokers offer both.

What are commodity overnight financing fees?

Long positions on commodities accrue daily financing — broker borrows money to maintain the leveraged position. Rates change with central-bank policy and storage costs (especially for physical-delivery contracts in contango). Short positions on commodities sometimes receive credits. Holding commodities for weeks accumulates significant swap costs.

How are commodities brokers regulated?

Commodity CFDs sit under derivatives licences — FCA, CySEC, ASIC. US retail commodity futures must be at a CFTC-registered broker (FCM). Physically-delivered futures contracts are exchange-cleared (CME, ICE) regardless of broker. Each profile flags which licences apply to which commodity products.
