Trading Products Offered by CFI
1.Foreign Exchange
Foreign exchange, also known as Forex or FX, is the trading of currencies from different countries around the globe. Traders aim to profit by exchanging one currency for another, in the hope that the currency they bought will increase in value in relation to the one that they sold. For example, let’s say the exchange rate for the EUR/USD pair is currently at 1.1800, and you purchase 10,000 euros for $11,800. One week later, the exchange rate for EUR/USD rises to 1.2500, and you sell your euros for $12,500, you would have made a profit of $700.With CFI you can trade major Forex pairs, minor Forex pairs, and exotic pairs.Major currency pairs always involve the US dollar (USD) and include the world’s four traditional major currencies; EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD, and USD/CHF. We also have what is called the “commodity currencies” which is pairing the USD with the Australian dollar AUD/USD, the New Zealand dollar NZD/USD or the Canadian dollar USD/CAD.Any pairing that does not involve the USD is called a minor, or cross currency pair. These can include EUR/GBP, EUR/AUD, GBP/JPY, CHF/JPY, NZD/JPY or GBP/CAD.When a major currency is paired with the currency of a developing nation, this is referred to as an exotic pair.All you need to do is pick a currency pair of your choice like GBP/CAD, and trade it on our state of the art trading platform the MetaTrader 5. .
2.Precious Metals CFDs
Precious metals are excellent trading products to use to diversify your portfolio and should certainly be considered when formulating your trading strategy. They can be used by investors as a safe way to store an investment's value, especially during times of market uncertainty and/or high volatility. For example, when financial institutions such as banks are perceived to be unstable due to war, a political crisis, or a global pandemic. During such times, the perceived level of risk in the markets outweighs the expected reward and rates of return in the bond and real estate markets are considered to be negative due to inflation. How does this sort of trading work? There are several ways you can invest in precious metals with CFI:
•Gold CFD trading: Gold is a product which is seen by many traders as the precious metal safe heaven
