CFDs on energy are a popular choice for short-term trading, especially when there is a surge in energy consumption, as during periods of active growth, demand increases. Prices are determined by global supply and demand for the physical product.

Often referred to as “black gold”, Oil is usually denominated in U.S. Dollars (hence the term ‘Petrodollar’), so a weak dollar will commonly cause Oil prices to rise, as the price of the product is directly influenced by the value of the currency.

Oil-producing nations have a dramatic effect on the supply, and therefore the price, as they may withdraw or boost the physical quantity of barrels available in the market.

For example, since the mid-90s, the US imposed sanctions on Iran have prevented Iranian oil from entering the marketplace, widening the gap between supply and demand which results in higher prices. Another noteworthy event occurred in 2014 when a much lower demand from the EU and China caused a sharp decrease due to the excess supply. For many years, the US government has been building up its oil reserves and should these be released to the market, or used domestically, energy prices may drop sharply as a result.

In the case of NatGas, an alternative energy commodity to oil, historical analysis shows a general correlation between the two, considering that natural gas is often released during the oil drilling process, and they are commonly produced by the same companies or nations.

In conclusion, a multitude of economic factors can affect the price of energy, including inflation rates, political or military tensions in producing nations, natural disasters, production costs and of course, OPEC decisions.

Trading CFDs on energy allows you to speculate on price movement, without having to physically acquire the underlying asset. As prices fluctuate, traders make profit or loss depending on their position and direction in the market.

QA

'CFD' stands for 'contract for difference' and consists of an agreement (contract) to exchange the difference in the value of an underlying (currency pair, commodity, share, index, crypto) between the time at which the contract is opened and the time at which it is closed. If the difference is negative then the buyer must pay the difference to the seller. If the difference is positive then the seller must pay the difference to the buyer. When trading CFDs traders buy (go long) when they are expecting a rise, and sell (go short) when expecting a drop in value. The CFD derivatives market is not standardised and is made up of buyers and sellers who trade OTC ‘over-the-counter’ (not on any regulated exchange), meaning that the broker is the counterparty to every transaction and there is therefore counterparty risk. International banks & large investment firms act as liquidity providers by providing their own quotes for pricing CFDs based on the underlying prices, e.g., CFDs on FX pairs are based on the FX spot market. The brokers pricing and liquidity is usually received and aggregated from several such sources and can be affected by the available liquidity and pricing received from the above. As a very simple example: if you buy a ‘contract for difference’ at $14 and sell at $16 then you will receive the $2 difference. If you buy a CFD at $10 and sell at $8 then you pay the $2 difference. Basically, a CFD contract means that you are not physically buying the underlying, but through the CFD, you have exposure to the price movement of the underlying instrument.
