Based on my careful review of Midas Securities’ available product offerings and platform features, I have not found any clear indication that gold (XAU/USD), crude oil, or similar globally traded commodities are available for trading through this broker. My investigation focused on the instruments they list: Hong Kong-listed stocks, derivative warrants, ETFs, and bonds. While some ETFs and derivative warrants can inherently offer exposure to commodity prices, this is not the same as direct trading of spot gold, gold CFDs, or oil futures, which many global traders—including myself—often seek for diversification or hedging. I believe it’s critical for traders to distinguish between direct access to a commodity instrument and indirect exposure via equity or ETF products, both in terms of risk and the mechanics involved. Furthermore, Midas Securities’ regulatory disclosures and product summaries are firmly centered around regional securities markets and debt instruments. For someone who prioritizes access to forex, precious metals, or energy products, this lack of explicit commodity or XAU/USD/Crude Oil trading is a notable limitation. Out of caution, and in line with my approach to due diligence, I would recommend anyone with a primary interest in these asset classes to directly confirm with the broker before proceeding. I always find it prudent to clarify product access up front, as not all regulated brokers offer a full suite of global instruments.
