Crude oil — the market that reacts first when supply, politics or demand shift.
What you'll learn
Energies
Oil CFDs track the price of a barrel of crude. You never take delivery: the position is cash settled against the price, which is what makes a barrel tradable from a trading account — one of the first things we clear up in this lesson.
CFDs are explained here for education: you take a position on the price, you never own the underlying asset.
Inventory reports, production decisions and shipping disruptions move this market quickly.
Energy prices can move sharply in a short window, so position sizing matters more than usual here.
