Spot Metals

Precious metals such as gold and silver have been traded for hundreds of years. Gold and silver are heavily traded these days and are often used as a long term portfolio diversification. Forex Trade Nest offers Spot Gold and Spot Silver in both USD and EUR, which are traded similarly to Forex trading currency pairs by placing long or short positions.
