Commodities offer a way to diversify your portfolio and hedge against inflation or market uncertainty. They allow you to trade physical assets like gold, oil, or agricultural products, which can act as a safe haven during volatile market conditions. However, commodity prices can fluctuate due to global supply and demand factors, so understanding market dynamics is key to managing risk.
With a Saxo account, you can trade a wide range of commodities across energy, metals, and agriculture. You can see details about our futures commodity offering in the commodity section of our trading app linked below. You can also use the instrument search to find other ways to invest in commodities, such as options, CFDs, spot metals, ETCs, and commodity-related stocks.

Our policy is designed to ensure client orders are executed promptly, efficiently, and with the best possible terms.
We’re a regulated Danish bank. This means we’re under the supervision of the Danish FSA and comply with stringent reporting requirements and client management regulations.
Your funds are protected via the Danish Guarantee Fund up to EUR 100,000.
Your securities are also protected by the Danish Guarantee Fund. Generally, securities would be returned to you in cases like suspension of payment or compulsory winding up. If we’re unable to return them, they are covered up to EUR 20,000 per client.
That depends on the account type you open.
For an individual account, these are the documents you’ll need to provide:
- Your national ID number from the country where you hold citizenship.
- Your tax ID number from your country of residence.
- A document as proof of identity (e.g., a passport, ID card, driver’s licence) and a selfie.
- A document as proof of residence (one that shows your home address, such as a residence permit, utility bill, or bank statement).
Most sign-ups for individual accounts are approved digitally within a few minutes. However, since we cannot compromise on security checks, the process can sometimes take longer. If all documents you provided meet requirements, we’ll process your application within 2 working days.
If you provide clear copies of all required documents, corporate accounts will generally be approved in about 1 week.
