City Index Provides One Point Spreads on Four Major Indices

LONDON, October 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

City Index (http://www.cityindex.co.uk/) offers tight spreads on many indices markets, including one point on the UK 100, Wall Street, Germany 30 and France 40 during market hours. 

The narrow spreads allow traders to take maximum advantage of the volatility created as markets across the world continue to react to significant economic, political and natural catalysts.

FTSE 100

The FTSE 100 index trades from 08:00 to 16:30 GMT. The index comprises the UK's 100 most valuable stocks, and all companies listed must include PLC in their name, indicating they are public limited companies. As London is the financial centre of Europe, the FTSE 100 is seen as Europe's most important index.

Dow 30

Market trading for the Dow Index opens at 14:30 and closes at 21:00 GMT. Unlike the FTSE 100, the Dow always features the same 30 companies, which is something to consider when piecing together your financial spread bet strategy.

CAC 40

Trading hours for the CAC 40 run from 07:00 to 17:15 GMT. The companies listed are selected based on a quarterly review. Each review sees the companies listed on Euronext Paris ranked by the previous 12 months' performance, following which 40 companies are chosen for inclusion.

DAX 30

DAX 30 market hours fall between 08:00 and 14:30 GMT. The index is a reflection of the performance of the 30 largest German companies. As with the CAC 40, a quarterly review is taken to decide which companies comprise the DAX 30 Index.

City Index, recently voted Best Online Spread Betting Service at the MoneyAM Finance Awards, also provides narrow spreads for margined foreign exchange trading - including one point on Euro/US Dollar and two points on Euro/Sterling and Sterling/US Dollar.
