Why trade indices
- One position gives exposure to a basket of the largest companies in a market, instead of picking single shares.
- Indices react to interest-rate decisions, earnings seasons and economic data, so they move on news you can follow.
- As CFDs, you can go short as easily as long, which lets you hedge a share portfolio or trade a falling market.
- Trading hours follow each index's underlying market, with US indices trading almost around the clock on weekdays.
Costs to know
Index CFDs are priced through the spread. Positions held overnight pay or earn a swap based on the index's funding rate, and cash indices can be adjusted for dividends paid by their member companies. All of this is shown in the platform before you place a trade.
