If you want to place a
financial spread bet based on movements of the FTSE 100 Index with
Spreadex, you can trade a product known as the UK 100 Index. You can trade the
UK 100 Daily contract or a near or far month future.
The UK 100 is a
very popular product to spread bet on. In fact, it is consistently the
most traded product by Spreadex clients.
Trading the UK 100 index
gives you the flexibility to go long or short on the entire market, allowing
you to profit from a rise or fall in the FTSE 100 share index.
This can be done as a
speculative bet, if you feel the market is due to move sharply one way or the
other, or indeed as a protection against a portfolio of assets you may have in
the event of a falling stock market or in times of uncertainty like the Credit
Crunch environment.
