Precious metals — frequently asked questions
Tradenifty offers Gold (XAU/USD), Silver (XAG/USD), Platinum (XPT/USD) and Palladium (XPD/USD) against USD and selected major currencies. Gold and silver are quoted virtually round the clock; platinum and palladium follow narrower futures-driven sessions.
Precious metals are widely held as a hedge against inflation, currency debasement and geopolitical stress. Gold tends to rally when real interest rates fall or the US dollar weakens; silver behaves similarly but with more volatility and a stronger industrial-demand component. Both pair well with forex and equity positions for portfolio diversification.
Gold spreads at Tradenifty start from 0.15 of a dollar on Standard accounts and 0.05 on ECN accounts during peak liquidity. Silver spreads start from 0.02. Maximum leverage is up to 1:500 on gold and 1:200 on silver, subject to jurisdiction and account verification.
Spot gold and silver trade from Sunday 23:00 GMT through Friday 22:00 GMT with a brief daily break for settlement. The most active windows are the London AM and PM fixings and the New York open, when the bulk of physical and ETF flow goes through.
Yes. Long positions in gold and silver typically incur a small swap charge overnight, reflecting the cost of carrying the physical metal. Short positions sometimes receive a small credit. Live swap rates per metal are visible in the platform contract specifications.
No — Tradenifty metals are cash-settled CFDs. You profit or lose based on price movement only; there is no physical metal to take delivery of, no storage cost and no insurance to arrange. This makes metals trading accessible to retail traders who would otherwise be excluded from the spot bullion market.
