As an experienced trader, I took a detailed look at KGI Asia’s offering to determine whether trading popular commodities like Gold (XAU/USD) and Crude Oil is feasible with them. From my research, KGI Asia is a well-established company with over two decades of presence in Hong Kong, and it's firmly regulated by the SFC, which gives a certain degree of security and operational oversight. However, KGI Asia’s asset range is important to consider. While they provide access to a wide variety of securities, including stocks, bonds, futures, and options, I noticed significant limitations regarding forex and CFD trading. Specifically, they do not list forex pairs, and while they mention trading in commodities and futures, there is no specificity about spot gold trading (XAU/USD) or crude oil CFDs. Instead, their focus seems to be on structured investment products, stock options, and exchange-listed futures. In my view, while it might be possible to trade futures contracts linked to commodities like gold or crude oil through their platform, spot trading of XAU/USD or direct access to crude oil as you’d find on many global forex or CFD brokers is not a core feature here. For those, I generally prefer brokers that explicitly list spot commodities or CFDs on their platform. Given the absence of these options and some user allegations about withdrawal issues, I would exercise caution and, for trading assets like XAU/USD or crude oil directly, seek a provider specializing in such instruments. Always clarify product specifics with their support team before opening or funding an account to avoid unpleasant surprises.
