You can currently trade three primary energy CFDs: Western Texas Intermediate (WTI), Brent Crude (BRENT), and Low Sulphur Gasoil (GASOIL).
WTI (Western Texas Intermediate) is usually sourced from US oil fields and is considered the benchmark for US-produced crude oil. At the same time, Brent is based on crude oil extracted from the North Sea and is considered an international standard.
Low Sulphur Gasoil, sometimes known as red diesel, is another product available for oil trading. It is a type of fuel widely used in off-road commercial vehicles, tractors, and horticultural machinery, making its price relevant to industrial and economic activity.
Despite geographical differences, both WTI and Brent are priced in US dollars. Brent is mainly sourced from the North Sea, and WTI is pumped from North American oil fields.
Oil is used for energy and has a major input to the global economy. Any supply or demand threat, whether due to wars, production cuts, weather etc., can directly impact oil prices.
