XPTUSD is Platinum quoted against the US dollar. The displayed price represents the USD value of one troy ounce, while one standard XBTFX lot represents 100 ounces.
Do I own physical Platinum when I trade XPTUSD?

What moves the XPTUSD price?
XPTUSD can respond to the US dollar, real yields, interest-rate expectations, physical and industrial demand, supply conditions and changes in market risk. Spreads can widen in volatile or thin markets.
How is leverage applied to XPTUSD?
XPTUSD uses published exposure-based margin bands. The schedule is tied to notional exposure in this symbol, not account balance. Only exposure added above a threshold uses the next margin rate.
