CFD Trading
We are excited to be offering our clients tight spreads on stock index CFDs. Our evidence suggests that CFD traders are particularly keen on trading the index as it gives them exposure to a basket of the top 200 stocks.
(PRWEB) April 1, 2010
IG Markets, Australia’s number one CFD provider*, has reduced the spread on one of their most heavily traded products, the Australia 200 Cash Index, available now at just 1 point during market hours. That’s a 50% reduction and follows on from their launch of 24 hour trading on the same CFD product in January.
Mr Tamas Szabo, Chief Executive Officer, IG Markets says “We are excited to be offering our clients tight spreads on stock index CFDs. Our evidence suggests that CFD traders are particularly keen on trading the index as it gives them exposure to a basket of the top 200 stocks, as opposed to taking a view on the prospects of an individual company’s shares.”
“Along with the 50% spread cut, we've made other recent improvements to make it easier for you to trade this CFD. These include making it available around-the-clock and reducing the margin requirement by 20%**. ”

“IG Markets is committed to constant innovation and offering client’s tools that can optimise their CFD trading. We are thrilled to be able reduced the spread on this very popular product, which reflects our commitment to provide outstanding value for money alongside quality service.” Mr Szabo said.
