From my personal experience and after thoroughly examining YAMAGATA’s offerings, I found that trading assets such as Gold (XAU/USD) or Crude Oil is not currently possible on their platform. YAMAGATA, being an FSA-regulated brokerage established in Japan, primarily provides access to instruments like domestic and foreign stocks, ETFs, REITs, bonds, futures (specifically JGB futures), investment trusts, and options. As someone who has navigated multiple platforms over the years, the absence of commodities, including precious metals and energy products, is a notable limitation for me. The platform’s well-defined product list means that I am unable to directly speculate on gold or crude oil price movements through spot, CFD, or futures instruments. This focus on traditional securities and Japanese regulation does provide a measure of safety and clarity around the products available. The clear fee structure and regulatory oversight are advantages, but for traders like myself seeking exposure to global commodities, including gold or oil, YAMAGATA does not meet that need. Therefore, if these assets are essential to your strategy, it’s important to look at alternative brokers who specifically offer commodity trading alongside equities and bonds.
