The calendar that matters
The three reports that move energy.
In commodities it is not broad macro that rules, it is supply data. These are the ones to have marked in your calendar.
Crude oil inventories (EIA)
The Energy Information Administration publishes US crude oil stockpiles. It is the single biggest mover of WTI and Brent all week.
Affects USOIL · UKOIL · 16:30 CET
Natural gas inventories
The weekly gas storage report. In winter, a deviation from expectations can move the price 5% within minutes.
Affects NATGAS · 16:30 CET
OPEC and IEA reports
Global supply and demand forecasts. They set oil's underlying trend beyond the weekly noise.
Affects USOIL · UKOIL · Variable
Indicative hours in Central European Time, subject to change with daylight saving and each body's own calendar. Check the platform's economic calendar for exact dates.
Seasonality
Every commodity has its season.
Unlike currencies or indices, the calendar genuinely matters here: weather, harvests and consumption cycles leave patterns that repeat year after year.

Indicative historical patterns, not predictions. Natural gas rises in winter on heating demand; oil firms up during the US driving season; agricultural commodities follow the planting and harvest cycle. A pattern repeating in the past does not guarantee it repeats this year.
Quick guide
What commodities are and how they are traded.
Commodities are physical goods that are produced and consumed: oil, gas, metals, grains. Unlike a share or a currency, their price responds to something tangible — the supply and demand of a real product — and that changes how you analyse them entirely.
Trading them through CFDs means speculating on their price without buying the product. There are no futures contracts to roll, no expiry dates and, above all, no risk of ending up receiving barrels of crude.
What moves oil
- OPEC. Its production decisions carry the most weight. A surprise supply cut moves the price several percentage points within minutes.
- Weekly inventories. Every Wednesday the EIA publishes how much crude is stored in the United States. It is the highest-impact release of the week.
- Geopolitics. Conflicts in producing regions or along transport routes push the price up on fears of supply disruption.
- Chinese demand. As the world's largest importer, its activity data sets the underlying trend.
Why natural gas is different
Gas is by some distance the most volatile instrument on this page. Its demand depends on the weather and its storage is limited, so a forecast of a cold snap can lift it 10% in a session, and a revision to that same forecast can sink it the next day. It is not a market for large positions.
Agricultural commodities run on another clock
Coffee, wheat and corn respond to the planting and harvest cycle, to weather conditions in producing regions and to production reports. They move less than energy day to day, but a weather event in Brazil or the US Midwest creates trends that last for months.

Frequently asked questions
Everything about commodities trading.
It means taking a view on the price of physical goods such as oil, natural gas or coffee, through CFDs. You do not buy barrels or sacks: you gain or lose the difference between your entry and exit price, with no physical delivery and no expiry dates.
Energy and agricultural: WTI crude, Brent crude, natural gas, coffee, wheat and corn. All as CFDs and from the same account you use for forex or indices.
Energy trades almost 24 hours from Sunday to Friday, following the NYMEX calendar with short breaks. Agricultural commodities have shorter hours tied to their reference markets. Exact hours are in the platform.
Three things above all: OPEC production decisions, the weekly US inventories published by the EIA every Wednesday, and geopolitical tension in producing regions. Chinese demand sets the underlying trend.
Because its demand depends on the weather and it cannot easily be stored. A forecast of severe cold sends the price up within hours, and a revision to that forecast sends it down just as fast. It is the most volatile instrument on this page.
Weekly publications showing how much crude or gas is stored in the United States. If stockpiles are higher than expected, it usually signals weak demand and the price falls. If lower, it usually rises. They are released on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 16:30 CET.
No. Unlike futures, you can hold the position for as long as you want with no rollovers and no deadlines. Positions held overnight incur swap.
It is useful context, not a strategy on its own. The fact that gas usually rises in winter does not guarantee it rises this winter. It helps you understand the underlying bias, but the decision has to rest on current analysis.
