Spread Betting Tips & Ideas

The market is currently fairly trick, with issues in Greece still largely unresolved and a recent rise in stock markets looks like it has finished, however there are a few things that traders may be able to look at that are more predictable than others.

One of these is oil. Spread betting oil may be profitable as Iran blocks exports to France and UK over sanctions due to be imposed, stating that it will find other countries to export to. Whilst Iran probably will be able to fill this spare capacity, it is like that in the short term oil prices may rise.

Second a small company call ZincOx resources is due to announce successful commissioning of its new Korean plant, which will be the first of its kind in the world. If the commissioning is successful, which appears to be the case, estimates are that the price could double or even triple. The announcement is expected in later February or early March.

As always, neither of these are guaranteed, so make sure to research first and enter at the right time. Unsigned Gigs

What is Spread Betting?

Spread betting is a service where you can have a bet on whether the price of a financial asset will increase or decrease.

Spread betting is different to traditional forms of financial asset trading in that you never actually own the asset, you just have a position on whether the market price of the asset will increase or decrease in value. This allows leverage, so your position can be greater than the amount of money you would be able to spend on tradition financial products.

The spread refers to the difference between the buy and sell price, and so the smaller the spread, the less the deficit is at the beginning of the bet.
