GBP/USD is 1.7371 at the moment... 1.7371 dollars for one British Pound

I think there does exist a product like spot brent oil or spot natural gas, but it's not available on EBS or Reuters (the platforms that do the most interbank currency volume). Therefore it would take a lot more efforts and technical difficulties for Oanda to offer oil, than it takes to offer...

Spot (not futures) gold and silver are also traded on EBS, the system the big banks use for trading currencies. So there's a big difference for oanda in offering spot gold/silver and wheat or bonds :) More info: http://www.ebs.com/products/metals.asp
