Oil is one of the most commonly traded commodities in the world, and is available for trade in most of the top Forex trading platforms, as well as in many leading binary options platforms.
Oil is often known as petroleum, though in reality, petroleum is the result of the processing of crude oil, a natural liquid that is found underground. Crude oil prices fluctuate based on a variety of factors including natural disasters, political factors and fluctuations in the currency markets.
