Open an index CFD trading account
With Index CFDs, you can speculate on the future price movements of popular stock market indices, such as the US500, UK100, and JPN225, without owning the underlying assets. This allows you to potentially profit from both rising and falling markets, and to trade with leverage, meaning you can open larger positions with less capital.
