Markets — Indices CFD

Entire economies in a single trade.

Indices bundle the performance of an economy's leading companies. With CFDs, you trade the movement of global markets as a whole.

( 01 )The Market

Exposure to global markets.

An index represents a basket of an exchange's leading stocks — such as the S&P 500 in the United States or the DAX in Germany. Trading indices via CFD lets you capture the movement of entire economies with a single position.

It is an efficient way to diversify exposure, following the pulse of American, European and Asian markets in real time.
