Currencies
We offer Spot and Forward bets on a full range of currency pairs, including all majors and a broad choice of Scandinavian, Australasian and exotic currency crosses.
This is the comprehensive forex betting package. Choose from over 60 currency pairs, with Spot and Forward rates at highly competitive spreads, including 2-pip Spot EUR/USD and EUR/GBP, and 3-pip GBP/USD.
Spread betting with IG Index gives you an easy way to back your judgement in the currency markets with no commission to pay.
How it works
For all our currency bets, you simply 'buy' if you think the first-named currency in the quoted pair is going to strengthen, and you 'sell' if you think the first-named currency is going to weaken.
If you are looking to take a short-term view, bet on our Spot price. All our Spot prices have extremely narrow spreads, and bets settle at 8pm the same day. If you want to take a longer-term view choose a Forward quarter month in a currency and chart its progress using our unrivalled range of tools and charting software. Your position will remain open until the last dealing day of the contract month.
You must also decide how much you want to bet per point. For all our bets a point, or a pip, is the last full digit of our quote. For more details on placing currency bets please see the example.
