Indices – Top Bundled Stocks As CFDs

These are some of the major Indices consisting of the top-performing stocks in each country.

Naturally, despite your geographical location, you can trade all of these if your broker offers them.

Most of these instruments will be traded as a Contract for Difference (CFD), meaning you do not physically own the stock.

You would rather benefit, make a profit or loss, based on the price movement of your chosen asset.

The benefit to trading stock as a CFD is the leverage aspect.

Trading stocks/equities on leverage allows you to buy multiple stocks as you are trading on margin.

You also have the ability to “short sell” the stock. This can be very beneficial.

We will be covering all of this and more in our Stock Market Trading

Education. We’d like to help you on your stock market trading journey.
