Drawing on my first-hand experience and after closely examining Fidelity’s current range of services, I can confirm that trading specific assets like Gold (XAU/USD) and Crude Oil directly through Fidelity is not an option. From what I’ve observed, Fidelity focuses its offerings on mutual funds, retirement investments such as MPF and ORSO, and thematic or multi-asset solutions. While these products may include some exposure to commodities within diversified portfolios, the platform does not allow for direct speculative trading in individual commodities, spot metals, or CFDs commonly associated with forex brokers. This distinction is crucial for traders who, like me, prefer hands-on approaches or real-time trading of instruments like XAU/USD or oil. Fidelity’s business model is set up for long-term wealth management and investment objectives, regulated by strong oversight such as the SFC in Hong Kong, which reassures me about their compliance and safety standards. However, for direct commodity trading—especially with a focus on short-term price movements or leverage—I would seek a specialized broker that offers such instruments as standalone tradable assets. It’s essential to be clear about your trading goals and risk tolerance when choosing a broker. For those interested in direct access to precious metals or energy commodities, Fidelity’s platform may not be suitable for this need. Instead, it serves investors looking for broader, more diversified, and regulated investment solutions rather than active commodity trading.
