What can I trade on the commodities and metals desk?

Three groups sit on one desk: precious metals like gold, silver, platinum and palladium; energies like crude oil, Brent and natural gas; and the wider commodity set, from copper to coffee, wheat and cotton. You trade each as a CFD, long or short, without handling the physical goods.
