Why Trade Indices CFDs

• Easy Diversification
• Indices provide quick, easy, and practical diversification in the stock market. For instance, a single trade position on the DJIA (Dow Jones Industrial Average), which tracks the performance of the 30 largest US publicly listed companies, provides instant exposure to stocks of major companies such as Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, Walmart, and Visa.
• High Liquidity
• Indices are highly liquid financial assets. This ensures that Indices CFDs can be traded with transparent prices and low spreads throughout all market sessions.
• Smooth Price Action
• The composition of Indices ensures that their price action is generally very smooth and predictable. This characteristic provides Indices CFD traders with a clearer path for technical analysis and strategy planning.
• Vast News Coverage
• The broad composition of indices has made them serve as benchmarks for economic performance. This guarantees proper financial news coverage, allowing Indices CFDs traders to gain fundamental insights at all times to enhance their strategies.
• Hedging Capabilities
• Indices CFDs offer a strategic way to protect your portfolio against market volatility. Volatility in a single stock does not necessarily translate into volatility for the overall index price.
