From my own experience and deep review of CMS, I’ve found that their primary focus is on traditional securities and futures markets, rather than forex or spot commodities like XAU/USD (gold) and crude oil in the way many global FX brokers offer. CMS provides access to futures contracts, global commodities, stocks, bonds, options, ETFs, and indices, especially focusing on the Hong Kong market and wider Asian exchanges. However, the ability to trade assets like spot gold (XAU/USD) or crude oil CFDs, which are standard on many forex platforms, is not explicitly offered here according to the available information. In my judgment, this distinction is critical because most platform users interested in gold or oil seek either spot contracts or CFDs, which allow direct exposure to price movements in those specific commodities, particularly against the US dollar. On CMS, commodity access comes through futures and possibly some structured products or ETFs, but not through direct spot or CFD instruments. Additionally, the absence of MT4/MT5 platforms and the types of account features CMS provides further supports this view. For anyone specifically seeking to trade XAU/USD or spot crude oil, CMS may not be the optimal venue. Based on what I’ve observed, it’s more suited for diversified securities and futures trading, and not as a direct proxy for global spot commodity trades. Given the documented user risks and platform limitations, I recommend approaching with due caution and verifying instruments before funding an account.
