Why Trade Index CFDs with Pepperstone?
Developed for retail traders, our index CFDs provide you with access to a wide range of global markets, enabling you to diversify your trading strategies across uncorrelated instruments. You can directly take advantage of the opportunities that global equities markets offer, and index CFDs are offered to all our clients without a dealing desk or commission.
Global opportunities
The world’s leading stock markets constantly change as the underlying publicly-traded companies of an index move up or down in value. This presents an exciting opportunity to trade on the direction of the major indices, by placing either a buy (go long) or sell (go short) order.
After-market hours
We are one of the few brokers offering extended trading hours, including international markets available in many different time zones. With 14 major stock markets around the world, you can take advantage of market movements in real-time as they happen.
Hedge your portfolio
Index CFDs are a great way to hedge other positions and with leverage are less capital-intensive.
