"Economic fundamentals have become a significant driver of oil prices. This factor and the inverse relationship between oil and the U.S. dollar means trading oil is a fairly natural extension and an interesting alternative to currency trading," comments Jane Foley, Director of Research for FOREX.com.
"In addition, many currency traders already closely follow the price of oil, and commodities are increasingly popular with retail traders as they look for opportunities to generate positive returns outside traditional equity markets," adds Matthew Wright, Regional Director for FOREX.com in Europe.
FOREX.com offers Brent crude oil (BCO) as a Contract for Difference (CFD) with five percent margin and the flexibility to trade small contracts from just one lot, representing 100 barrels. The FOREX.com BCO contract tracks the current price of Brent crude on the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE). In addition to premium trading tools such as real-time charts and news, clients will also receive daily market commentary and analysis from the FOREX.com research team on the latest market trends impacting the price of oil.
