Trade spot gold (XAU/USD) against the dollar with competitive spreads and flexible lot sizes.
A 'forex broker' today is usually a multi-asset broker. The practical questions are which markets you can actually trade from one account, what the spreads and leverage limits are per asset class, and whether you get the exotic pairs or just the majors. Gold and oil are common; crypto CFDs and stock CFDs vary widely in availability and cost.

Frequently asked questions
How many gold trading brokers are on this list?
We currently track 20 gold trading brokers that meet our inclusion criteria. Rankings are updated as broker conditions change.
Can I trade gold with a forex broker?
Yes — most forex brokers offer spot gold (XAU/USD) and silver as CFDs, often with competitive spreads and flexible lot sizes, all from the same account.
What are crypto CFDs?
You speculate on Bitcoin, Ethereum and other coins' price without owning the coin. You get leverage and no wallet custody, but you also miss any actual crypto you would hold on an exchange.
Stock CFDs vs real shares?
Stock CFDs let you go short and use leverage but you don't own the share and may pay overnight financing. Real shares (where offered) mean ownership, dividends and no financing cost.
What should I look for in gold trading brokers?
Prioritise regulation, published spreads, withdrawal speed, platform stability and whether the broker accepts clients from your country.
Are these rankings paid or sponsored?
