Indices market conditions
The global index market is a broad network of stock indices that typically include hundreds or thousands of stocks from large to small-cap companies. AlforbFX’ award-winning trading platform allows you to speculate on the price movements of various stock indices without having to buy the underlying asset.
Spreads
Spreads are always floating, so the spreads in the table above are yesterday’s averages. For live spreads, please refer to the trading platform.
Please note that spreads may widen when the markets experience lower liquidity. This may persist until liquidity levels are restored.
Swaps
Swap values may be updated on a daily basis. If you are a resident of a Muslim country, all accounts are automatically swap-free.
Dividends
Dividend amounts may be updated on a daily basis. Check upcoming dividends and read more important information about dividends in our Help Center.
Fixed margin requirements
When trading indices, leverage is fixed at 1:400 for US30, US500 and USTEC, and 1:200 for other indices. All indices’ daily higher margin requirements depend on the specific index. You can find a list of all higher margin requirements for indices here.
