What actually moves these markets
Natural gas
The most weather-sensitive market on the board. Heating and cooling degree days, storage injections and withdrawals, and LNG export capacity.
Softs and grains
Planting and harvest cycles, drought and flood conditions in key growing regions, export restrictions, and currency moves in producing countries.
Expiry and rollover
Commodity CFDs track underlying futures contracts, which expire on a set schedule. Before expiry, ACSFX Markets rolls open positions into the next contract month.
Because the new contract usually trades at a different price, a cash adjustment is applied to your account to neutralise the price gap. The adjustment offsets the change in open profit or loss, so the roll itself does not create or destroy value but it does show up as separate entries in your statement.
- Rollover dates are published in advance in the client portal
- Pending orders are adjusted to the new contract price
- Stop and limit levels should be reviewed after each roll
- You may close before rollover to avoid the adjustment entirely
