Convenience yield
Convenience yield is the implied non-cash benefit of holding a physical commodity rather than a contract for future delivery. Having inventory available can help a business meet unexpected demand or avoid production interruptions, especially when supplies are tight.
In a hypothetical supply disruption, a refinery with crude oil in storage can keep operating while another waits for delivery, illustrating a convenience benefit.
Risk warning: CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.
