What can I trade with CFDs?
CFDs are used to trade a wide number of instruments and markets, many of which are not normally accessible through a particular instrument or trading vehicle. For example, CFDs can be traded on FTSE 100 shares, or even the FTSE 100 index itself. They can be traded on commodities like gold, rice, pork bellies or soya, or they can be traded on currencies or interest rates or bond rates - essentially, anything that is a market or an index can be used as the basis for trading contracts for difference, and as a result traders have access to a wide range of different trading options and markets through their broker.
