A retail foreign exchange and contracts-for-difference (CFD) broker has recently expanded its offerings in the UK by introducing share CFDs on both US and European listed stocks. This addition is made available through a regulated entity, enhancing the accessibility of trading options for clients.
This new offering allows retail traders to engage with a variety of popular individual company shares, including major names like Tesla, Amazon, Microsoft, and Apple. It covers stocks from a range of countries such as the United Kingdom, the USA, Germany, France, Spain, and the Netherlands, thereby broadening clients’ investment opportunities.
The introduction of share CFDs is part of a larger update involving the launch of a new sub-account known as “OANDA One.” This sub-account allows users to trade using the latest version of the MetaTrader platform, MT5, positioning it as a modern choice for traders seeking advanced trading capabilities. This expansion not only satisfies growing demand but also positions the platform to provide users with a more diversified trading experience across different sectors and markets.
A key statement from the Managing Director for Europe highlighted that this move aims to meet the increasing request for CFDs among traders and investors. The versatility of CFDs lies in their ability to enable exposure to both rising and falling markets, thus allowing clients to capitalize on market volatility without needing to own the underlying assets directly.
With the integration of share CFDs, the trading platform’s offering now encompasses a wide variety of asset classes. In addition to share CFDs, the platform also supports trading in indices, forex, commodities, metals, and bonds. This multifaceted availability is designed to create a more comprehensive trading environment for clients in the UK, all while utilizing an intuitive interface that caters to users’ needs.
Founded in 1996, the brokerage has established itself as a significant entity in the global trading landscape, providing multi-asset trading capabilities along with crucial currency data and analytics for retail and corporate clients alike. With a presence in numerous prominent financial markets around the world, the broker’s platform offers a robust solution for clients interested in active trading across various asset classes.
The broker’s expansion into share CFDs signifies its commitment to offering clients enhanced trading tools and opportunities, reflecting a responsiveness to market demands and the evolving needs of retail traders.
