Mitrade's 2026 CFD Market Outlook Spotlights Brent Oil Price Swings and Gold Price Volatility Amid Geopolitical Pressures

CAPE TOWN, South Africa, Jan. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Commodity markets are entering 2026 under pressure from oil oversupply and renewed demand for safe-haven assets. With short-term volatility once again at the centre of trader focus across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), Mitrade's annual outlook, "Financial Markets 2026: Volatility Catalysts in Gold, Silver, Oil, and Blue-Chip Stocks — A  CFD Trader's Outlook," offers a trader-centric view of how macroeconomic, policy and geopolitical forces are shaping an unprecedented market climat.

The report highlights themes already playing out in early 2026, including persistent oversupply weighing on the Brent crude oil price and renewed momentum in gold, which Reuters reported rose above $4,600 per ounce in mid-January.

"With the Brent crude oil price tied to both local economies and external shocks, tactical engagement remains a defining trait of short-term trading," said Kevin Lai, Vice President of Mitrade Group. "In 2026, traders face a uniquely volatile landscape where headlines — from policy shifts to regional escalations — move markets instantly. These conditions suit CFD trading, where short-term positioning and rapid reaction are imperative. Mitrade provides a comprehensive ecosystem that supports quick, data-informed decisions in this fast-moving environment."
