Accumarkets Trading Instruments
Accumarkets provides traders with access to several financial instruments through Contracts for Difference (CFDs) on the MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platform. These instruments allow traders to speculate on price movements in global markets without owning the underlying assets.
The broker mainly focuses on three major asset classes: Forex, metals, and indices, which are among the most popular markets for online trading.

GBP/USD

USD/JPY
-
AUD/USD
-
USD/CAD
Forex trading allows traders to speculate on exchange rate movements and benefit from both rising and falling markets.
Metals
Accumarkets also offers trading in precious metals, which are widely used by traders for portfolio diversification and hedging against market volatility.
Common metal instruments include:
