Why trade indices?

Stock indices are one of the most popular forms of CFD trading, providing a wider view of market sentiment than with individual shares, allowing you to take a broad position with just a single trade.

The Singapore Blue Chip, for example, represents the collective market movement of many of Singapore's largest companies, including DBS, Singtel and Keppel Corp.

Huge range of markets

As well as our popular Singapore Blue Chip, Wall Street, FTSE® 100 and Germany 30 markets, we also offer competitive spreads on a huge range of other, exotic global indices.

In addition to stock index CFDs, we also offer tight spreads on a wide range of forex pairs, commodities and individual shares from around the world.

Take a position

If you are not already an IG Markets client you can open an account with no minimum balance and start trading on our new lowest-ever spreads.

* Old spread: 0.1 points each side of the market. New spread: 0.05 points each side of the market.
