Spread-Betting.org Launches New Gold Spread Betting Guide

LONDON, ENGLAND, October 19, 2011

Financial trading website www.Spread-Betting.org has launched a brand new section on gold spread betting.

Gold is typically seen as a safe haven for investors. During times of economic uncertainty, traders often flock to gold as it is seen as a hedge against inflation.

For this very reason, the past few years have seen the price of gold rise significantly, which is what has made it such a popular commodity to spread bet on.

That is why financial trading website Spread-Betting.org has launched a brand new trading guide which focuses on the yellow metal.

"Commodities have always been popular with speculators," said Maxine Price, editor at http://www.spread-betting.org. "During times of recession, commodities such as gold are often seen as a safe haven; a market where traders can protect their downside.

"Of course, gold is not always a safe haven; during economic downturns gold can see both rises and falls. The market also sees sharp price corrections. However the fact still remains that it is currently a very popular market. That is why we have introduced a new spread betting guide that focuses on the precious metal."

Updated daily, the new section, spread betting on gold, is split into several sub-sections. The bulk of the new guide, the 'Market Review', focuses on the latest developments in the gold market.

Traders who are interested in spread betting on gold will also find a review of firms such as Financial Spreads which offer metals spread betting. There is section on spread betting offers but also a gold price comparison which reviews the typical spread size and minimum trade sizes for a number of spread betting companies.

However, the new section also helps spread betting investors who are less familiar with gold spread trading by covering areas such as 'how to spread bet on gold', 'where to spread bet on gold tax free', as well as a broader look at the gold market.

"At Spread-Betting.org, we always try to ensure that every spread bettor, whether they be a novice investor or an experienced trader, finds something useful," Price continued. "That is why the new guide looks at how and where to spread bet on gold, the latest developments in the gold market and technical analysis."
