Avoid currency exposure when trading indices and commodities with SGD-denominated CFDs, available exclusively from IG Markets.

Traditionally, if you trade on an overseas index you will trade in its natural currency. This means you are not only taking on the underlying market but you are also exposing yourself to currency risk. So, even if your trade is successful, your profits may be eroded away by exchange rate fluctuations.

SGD-denominated CFDs allow you to simplify your strategy by trading a select group of international markets in Singapore dollars. By trading in Singapore dollars you take currency exposure out of the equation, allowing you to focus on the movement of your position.

Trading SGD-denominated CFDs offers a clean and simple solution as it enables you to keep track of your total exposure and easily interpret your profit and loss. You can also trade in lot sizes from as little as SGD1/point.

How SGD-denominated CFDs work

If you believe Crude Oil is going to rise, then you can purchase an SGD-denominated Crude Oil contract rather than the normal USD denomination. If Crude Oil then rises, regardless of exchange rate movements, you profit SGD$1 for every cent that the price of the relevant front month Crude Oil contract moves higher. When you realise a profit it will be in SGD, and therefore you avoid any currency conversions.

SGD-denominated CFD Example

You buy 10 contracts of SGD-denominated FTSE 100 Cash at 3720. When you sell your 10 contracts at 3772 the profit on the trade is 10 x SGD1 x (3772 - 3720) = SGD$520. Unlike traditional CFD contracts, there are no GBP currency conversions.
