Based on my direct review of Bell Potter, I’ve found their primary focus is on stocks, derivatives, funds, fixed income, and a few other asset classes within the scope of full-service brokerage. As someone who regularly evaluates brokers for what commodities and forex pairs are actually accessible, I pay close attention to specifics about asset availability. Bell Potter is regulated by ASIC in Australia and operates as a market maker, which adds a degree of legitimacy for me. However, when it comes to trading individual commodities like Gold (such as XAU/USD) or Crude Oil directly as spot instruments or CFDs, I have not found any firm evidence or product listing in their provided offerings. Their derivatives suite includes warrants and futures, but these seem mainly tailored to equity-based or index products, and there is no explicit mention of direct access to major commodity trades like gold or oil. My experience tells me that unless a broker clearly lists such instruments, relying on assumptions can be risky and may lead to unmet expectations. Bell Potter is best viewed as a specialist in Australian and international equities, some derivatives, and investment services, rather than a go-to for active commodity or forex asset trading. For dedicated gold or oil trading, especially pairs like XAU/USD, my advice is to seek a broker that explicitly advertises these instruments as part of its core offering.
