As someone who has researched and evaluated many trading platforms, I have to clarify that BullionVault is designed specifically for the trading of physical precious metals—gold, silver, platinum, and palladium—and does not support the trading of currency pairs like EUR/USD. In my experience, it is essential to distinguish between platforms that are dedicated to forex trading and those that focus on physical bullion since their fee structures and product offerings differ dramatically. On BullionVault, the costs faced by clients are centered around precious metal trading commissions and storage fees, not currency pair spreads. For precious metals, BullionVault charges a tiered commission structure and applies currency conversion fees where relevant, but traditional forex spreads are not a feature of this platform. Anyone looking to trade major forex pairs like EUR/USD would need to seek out a broker offering regulated forex services rather than a bullion specialist like BullionVault. For me, the absence of forex market functionality—alongside BullionVault’s lack of regulatory oversight—means I would exercise significant caution before using BullionVault for anything outside of carefully considered and well-understood metal purchases. For traders or investors interested in the EUR/USD or other forex pairs, I believe it is prudent to consider platforms that are both regulated and tailored for foreign exchange trading.
