Explore the difference between trading oil cash CFDs and futures CFDs with CMG.
Oil cash CFDs: The oil cash price means the trading of oil ‘on the spot’. In other words, the buyer pays for the oil immediately, at the current market price.
Oil futures CFDs: The oil futures price means the buyer and seller agree in a contract to exchange a given amount of oil at an agreed-upon price at a future date. This contract is done on an exchange that acts as a third-party verifier.
