Stock Indices
Spread Betting
Spread betting indices enables you to take a position on the future movement of some of the world’s major stock indices, such as the FTSE 100 or the US financial indices on Wall Street. By choosing to bet on stock indices you can take a view of the whole market, rather than focusing only on individual share price movements.
