Highlights of trading gold & silver with XGLOBAL
Spot gold is a particularly attractive trading instrument given the popularity gold has as a component of a well balanced investment portfolio. Gold is also one of the most traded products on the platform. Its price is not directly driven by interest rates or economic news and quite often demand arises from market turmoil. This makes for a rather unique proposition for speculative traders or those wishing to hedge their portfolio.
