CFDs (Contracts for Difference) are over-the-counter financial instruments that allow investors to trade on the price difference of an asset without owning the underlying product.
CFDs are typically written on futures contracts or equities, and the CFD market originated in London’s equity markets as a derivative product.
At QNB Invest, you can trade CFDs on products such as the DAX Index, Dow Jones Index, S&P 500 Index, Copper, and Oil.
The main advantage of CFD products is that they are not subject to the strict rules of futures markets.
Prices are derived from the nearest-dated futures contracts, but details such as initial and maintenance margins are not bound by exchange regulations.
Except for index CFDs, all other CFD products have a specific maturity date and therefore an expiry.
