GFT Lowers Spreads on Index CFDs and Spread Bets

LONDON, 1 June 2008 - GFT, worldwide leaders in online trading, has announced that the company has reduced prices on its most popular CFD and spread betting markets. GFT customers can now trade three of the most widely traded cash share indices with just one-point spreads.

With the U.K. FTSE, German DAX and French CAC now quoted at one point, traders will find more value when trading CFDs and spread bets with GFT. The ability to trade the most popular European indices for just one point gives GFT customers another major trading advantage.

“These new spreads, combined with our recently introduced forex spreads as low as one pip, reinforces GFT’s leadership in online trading,” said Simon Mansell, COO, GFT.

Traders interested in speculating on share index prices will find many reasons to trade with GFT, including a wide range of indices from 26 countries, combined with competitive spreads and margin requirements as low as 0.5 percent. In addition, guaranteed stops are available on all indices (for an extra charge) and many indices are quoted 24 hours a day – even when the underlying market is closed. GFT also offers CFDs and spread bets on individual shares, commodities, bonds, interest rates and forex.

These three indices will be consistently quoted at one point during the peak trading hours of 8:05 to 16:30 London time.
