FinancialSpreads.com Adds Differential Spread Betting Markets

LONDON, ENGLAND, April 07, 2011

Financial Spreads, the UK-based spread betting company, has introduced another set of improvements for their clients.

This year Financial Spreads have already tightened their spreads on a number of popular markets in order to lower the cost of trading for clients. They have also introduced Guaranteed Stops in order to help clients with their risk management. The spread betting company has now introduced 'differential markets'.

Financial Spreads Spokesperson Adam Jepsen says that introducing differential markets not only offers account holders more choice, but better value too. "The introduction of the differential market is the latest in a range of improvements to the service that we offer, and one that we hope will be very popular with our clients.

"We are constantly looking to offer new markets and services to our account holders, and we feel that the latest one will increase both choice and value. Not only will this improvement increase the range of markets that our clients can speculate on, but it also offers them a way of getting tighter spreads."

The new differential markets include:

* FTSE 100 / DAX 30
* FTSE 100 / Dow Jones
* Brent Crude Oil / US Crude Oil

A differential market is simply the difference between two markets.

For example, if the UK 100 (FTSE 100) is 5950 and the German DAX 30 is 7050 then the difference is 1100. Therefore, Financial Spreads might offer a UK 100 / DAX (June) differential market of 1098 - 1102.

This means clients can spread bet on the differential getting larger than 1102 or getting smaller than 1098.

Differential markets are normally monthly or quarterly financial spread betting markets and therefore they have an expiry date. The above example is a 'June' market so if you haven't already closed your trade beforehand the market, and any open trades on it, will be closed and settled on 17 June.
