Spread Betting Answers:
1. How to Spread Bet on the CAC 40?
At the moment the CAC 40 (December) market is quoted at 3241 - 3245 with Financial Spreads.
As with many financial markets, you can bet on the future market value of Indices. In other words, investors can spread bet on the Indices value increasing or decreasing.
With the CAC 40 (December) market, which closes on 19-Dec-08, you can financial spread bet on:
The CAC to finish higher than 3245 on the closing date, or
The CAC to finish lower than 3241 on the closing date.
With this market you trade in £X per point, where a point is 1 point of CAC 40 market movement. If your trading stake was £4 per point and the CAC 40 moves 12 points then that would be a £48 difference to your profit/loss.
Trading Example
So let's say you check the live price on a spread betting website and it displays a spread at 3241 – 3245. And let's say, after your market research, you feel that the CAC 40 (December) will close higher than 3245.
- You feel that the CAC 40 should go up
- You decide you want to go long 'buy' the market at 3245 and you risk £2 per point
- The market increases. You run the spread bet until the expiry date
- The market settles at 3294
- Opening price = 3245
- Profit and loss = (closing level - opening level) x stake
- Profit and loss = (3294 - 3245) x £2 per point stake
- Profit and loss = 49 x £2 per point
- Profit = £98
Of course if your trade did not work out as expected and had the CAC price gone down and closed lower at 3203 then you would have lost money on your trade.
- Opening value = 3245
- Profit and loss = (closing price - opening level) x stake
- Profit and loss = (3203 - 3245) x £2 per point stake
- Profit and loss =-42 x £2 per point
- Loss = -£84
(Prices quoted as of 08-Dec-08).
