Do it yourself (DIY) investors around the world have taken heightened interest with a responsive upswing in their sentiments in trading commodities such as gold, natural gas and oil on trading platforms since the February 24 invasion of Ukraine by Russia.
As a result of this strengthening of investors’ sentiment, global retail client participation in commodities across trading platforms climbed by 85 per cent in the first three months of the year 2022, a recent report by trading and investing platform, Capital.com, through its proprietary report, Pulse, which captures global trading patterns across 6,000 instruments, shows.
Commodities had the biggest influx of trades in the first two weeks after the invasion of Ukraine began on 24 February, the report states, adding that over the same period, DIY investors showed significant interest in higher-risk tech stocks with the Nasdaq 100 index emerging as the number one most-traded market among investors, followed by US crude oil and bitcoin.
