- EU Stocks 50 Margin Cut
We are pleased to announce that EU Stocks 50 is our latest stock index market to be made available 24 hours a day – plus we are also reducing the margin requirement for Trader Account holders*.
From Monday 8 March 2010 the margin on EU Stocks 50 will be cut from E1720 to E300 for clients who hold a Trader Account. At the same time, we will also start quoting EU Stocks 50 out of hours, from 11pm on Sundays through to 10pm on Fridays.
EU Stocks 50 remains open in-hours from 7am to 9pm, along with the same competitive 2 point dealing spread as before, while our out-of-hours spread will be 4 points. This means that any clients with Stop or Limit Orders could have their orders filled when the underlying market is closed.
More 24-hour markets, greater choice...
We now offer a total of 16 stock index markets 24 hours a day – the largest range of out-of-hours markets available. We quote all the major European and US markets around-the-clock, plus Hong Kong HS42, Japan 225, Singapore Blue-Chip and South Africa 40.
Out-of-hours trading gives you the freedom to open or close positions or move Stops or Limits whenever you choose, not when markets dictate.
To learn more about trading our range of stock index markets, see our Stock Indices page.
* Please note that the reduced margin requirement applies to Trader Account holders only. Find out more about our account types.
