OANDA Adds CFDs On US & UK Stocks
Award-winning broker, OANDA, has bolstered its suite of CFDs beyond European stocks to include US and UK equities. Clients can trade the new products through the broker’s popular trading platforms, including MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and TradingView.
Fresh Trading Opportunities
The launch of the new contracts for difference was announced this week under the Global Markets Division.
The new assets will give traders opportunities in a range of sectors, including energy, industrials, utilities, healthcare, and financials.
Traders can take positions on household names like Vodafone and BP in the UK and Amazon and Tesla in the US.
How CFDs Work
CFDs are a popular derivative that allow traders to speculate on the price of an asset without taking ownership of the underlying stock, for example.
Traders get exposure to assets that are trending both upwards and downwards, providing opportunities during periods of volatility.
CFDs are also popular for their leverage capabilities. For a small outlay, traders can amplify their trading volume and potential profits (or losses). 1:5 leverage, for example, means 5x the purchasing power.
