XM broker offers its customers fractional pip pricing. This means that instead of quoting prices with four(4) digits, XM allows you to benefit from the smallest price movements by adding a fifth digit (fraction). Fractional pip pricing allows for tighter spreads and the most accurate quoting possible. This pricing is the result of our efforts to get the best prices from our multiple liquidity providers.

Precious Metals	Gold Trading and other precious metals, along with crude oil, copper or petroleum, are hard commodities that play a major role in the commodities market and are contract-based tradable goods. The contracts based on precious metals can include futures, spot prices, forwards and options. The intermediary that enables futures contracts to be negotiated is the futures exchange, or commodity, market. Investors worldwide can access about 50 major commodity markets, with precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum and palladium as the leading tradable assets due to their high economic value and durability. While Asia is the worldwide largest precious metals market (China, India and Singapore being the top consumers of these commodities), the commodities market is dominated by European and American corporations, with the biggest precious metals companies based in Canada and Germany. The futures exchanges market, where besides currencies and stock indices gold and other precious metals are also actively traded, is available 24 hours a day, except weekends. Generally, precious metals are purchased in two main ways: on spot contracts and on futures contracts. While spot contracts involve the physical buying or selling of these commodities for payment and delivery on the spot date (typically two business days following the trade date), futures are standardized contracts, mutually agreed on by two parties to buy or sell precious metals of a specific quantity and quality for a price agreed on (called futures price) with delivery and payment on a later date in future (called delivery date). The buying and selling of futures takes place without the actual physical ownership of the commodities traded and done via online trading.
Commodities	Along with the global currency exchange markets, commodity markets offer various investment opportunities for retail traders worldwide. Soft commodities such as sugar, wheat or corn have been traded for centuries, and investors’ preference for these financial derivatives is attributed to the major role they play in portfolio diversification and risk management. Investing in contract-based tradable goods is a reliable means of risk mitigation even during times of inflation or economic uncertainty, ensuring both the contract buyer and seller against drastic price movements that may cause increased losses.
Stocks	Advantages of Stock Trading at XM: Cost-effective and direct access to the global equity markets. Instant access to global economies. Speculation on market uptrends/ downtrends. Going short/long according to market moves
Indices	CFDs on Cash Indices are subject to dividend adjustments. When an index constituent pays dividends to its shareholders it is essentially reducing the value of the company by the amount of the dividend. This is reflected on the ex-dividend date as a decrease of the company share price, as well as in a decrease in the value of the index in proportion to the weight of the stock within the index. To ensure no impact on positions, dividend adjustments will be made to the accounts of clients holding a position on the index at 00:00 (GMT+2 time zone, please note DST may apply) on the ex-dividend date. The dividend adjustment is made before the market open on the ex-dividend date (market hours can be found above). CFDs on Germany40 (GER40Cash) are not subject to dividend adjustments because the dividends paid by its constituent stocks are reinvested in the index itself. Thus, no downward adjustment occurs due to a constituent paying a dividend CFDs on Future Indices are also not subject to dividend adjustments.

Spread Type	XM operates with variable spreads, just like the interbank forex market. Because fixed spreads are usually higher than variable spreads, in case you trade fixed spreads, you will have to pay for an insurance premium. Many times, forex brokers who offer fixed spreads apply trading restrictions around the time of news announcements - and this results in your insurance becoming worthless. XM imposes no restrictions on trading during news releases.
