FinancialSpreads.com Adds Differential Spread Betting Markets

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

2011-04-07

LONDON, ENGLAND, April 07, 2011 (Press-News.org) 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.

Before trading with www.FinancialSpreads.com please note that financial spread betting carries a high level of risk to your funds and it may not be suitable for all investors. It's possible to lose more than your initial investment, therefore only speculate with money that you can afford to lose. Please ensure you fully understand the risks and, where necessary, seek independent financial advice.

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria in Indian public water supply

2011-04-07

Disease-causing bacteria carrying the new genetic resistance to antibiotics, NDM-1, have been discovered in New Delhi's drinking water supply. A Cardiff University-led team found new strains of resistant bacteria in the Indian capital, including species which cause cholera and dysentery. The findings are the first evidence of the environmental spread of NDM-1, which had previously only been found in hospitals. The scientists are calling for urgent action by health authorities worldwide to tackle the new strains and prevent their global spread. The Cardiff scientists ...

Researchers find link between common dietary fat, intestinal microbes and heart disease

2011-04-07

A new pathway has been discovered that links a common dietary lipid and intestinal microflora with an increased risk of heart disease, according to a Cleveland Clinic study published in the latest issue of Nature. The study shows that people who eat a diet containing a common nutrient found in animal products (such as eggs, liver and other meats, cheese and other diary products, fish, shellfish) are not predisposed to cardiovascular disease solely on their genetic make-up, but rather, how the micro-organisms that live in our digestive tracts metabolize a specific lipid ...

Researchers ID microbe responsible for methane from landfills

2011-04-07

Researchers have long known that landfills produce methane, but had a hard time figuring out why – since landfills do not start out as a friendly environment for the organisms that produce methane. New research from North Carolina State University shows that one species of microbe is paving the way for other methane producers. Specifically, the researchers found that an anaerobic bacterium called Methanosarcina barkeri appears to be the key microbe. "Landfills receive a wide variety of solid waste, and that waste generally starts out with a fairly low pH level," says ...

Neural guidance gene regulates liver development

2011-04-07

Scientists of the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) Berlin-Buch (Germany) have demonstrated for the first time that a gene regulating neuronal cell migration during embryogenesis also plays a role in the development of the liver. Using zebrafish as a model organism, Dr. Christian Klein and Professor Ferdinand le Noble showed that the gene navigator-3 (abbreviated nav3a) regulates liver organogenesis. If nav3a is missing, the liver cannot develop (Development 2011, doi:10.1242/dev.056861)*. "Moreover, first evidence indicates," Dr. Klein said, "that the expression ...

Most recent mammography recommendations confuse public

2011-04-07

San Diego, CA, April 6, 2011 – When the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), an independent panel of experts in primary care and prevention, released its recommendations on mammography screenings for US women on November 16, 2009, there was immediate and considerable controversy. In a study published in the May 2011 issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, investigators report that these new recommendations confused women (30.0%) more than they helped them understand when to get a mammogram (6.2%). Confusion was greatest among women aged 40-49 years ...

New drug shrinks cancer in animals, U-M study shows

2011-04-07

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — A study led by researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center showed in animal studies that new cancer drug compounds they developed shrank tumors, with few side effects. The study, done in two mouse models of human cancer, looked at two compounds designed to activate a protein that kills cancer cells. The protein, p53, is inactivated in a significant number of human cancers. In some cases, it is because another protein, MDM2, binds to p53 and blocks its tumor suppressor function. This allows the tumor to grow unchecked. The new ...

High levels of toxic compounds found on coasts of West Africa

2011-04-07

"We were not expecting to find such high levels of PCBs, highly toxic compounds that are considered as priority compounds by European legislation, in a region such as the western coast of Africa", Ailette Prieto, a researcher at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU-Spain) and co-author of a study published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology, tells SINC. PCBs, which some studies have shown to be carcinogenic compounds, were used years ago as dielectric fluids in transformers, condensers and coolants for various devices. However, their production ...

Simple chemical cocktail shows first promise for limb re-growth in mammals

2011-04-07

Move over, newts and salamanders. The mouse may join you as the only animal that can re-grow their own severed limbs. Researchers are reporting that a simple chemical cocktail can coax mouse muscle fibers to become the kinds of cells found in the first stages of a regenerating limb. Their study, the first demonstration that mammal muscle can be turned into the biological raw material for a new limb, appears in the journal ACS Chemical Biology. Darren R. Williams and Da-Woon Jung say their "relatively simple, gentle, and reversible" methods for creating the early stages ...
