How this market works
Metal prices are quoted in a currency, often US dollars. They can react to interest rates, the strength of that currency, mining supply and demand for jewellery or industry. A rising price is not a forecast.
Educational overview
Precious metals
Gold, silver and other metals respond to currencies, rates and demand. This page explains the market in general terms. It does not mean Bear Markets currently offers it.
Bear Markets has not confirmed that precious metals are available to trade. This page explains the market. It is not an offer to deal.
What can move prices
Prices respond to new information, liquidity and the currency in which the market is quoted. Past movement is not a reliable guide to the next movement.
Risks
You can lose money if the price moves against the position. With leverage, a small price change can have a larger effect on the account. Gaps, weekend closures and changes in margin can add to that risk.

Terminology
- Bid and ask
- The bid is the price at which a position can be sold, and the ask is the price at which it can be bought. The difference is the spread.
- Volatility
- Volatility describes how widely and how quickly a price moves. It is not a measure of whether a trade will make money.
