Index market conditions
The index market allows traders to speculate on the overall performance of a group of stocks from a particular exchange or sector. Trading index CFDs allows you to speculate on the price of highly volatile instruments like NASDAQ, S&P 500, DAX, and FTSE without buying individual shares, whether the index is going up or down.
Tight spreads
When it comes to index trading, you deserve tight spreads. Exness offers competitive spreads on major indices like NASDAQ, S&P 500, and DAX. Our spreads are floating, and the table above shows the previous day's average rates.
Swaps
Swap values may be updated daily. Use the Exness calculator to estimate your swap costs. To account for weekend rollover, a triple swap is applied each Wednesday on index positions.
Trading hours
The trading hours for indices differ depending on the exchange on which they are traded. US indices trade from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM ET. European indices follow local exchange hours. Learn more in our Help Center.
Margin requirements
Margin requirements for index CFDs are fixed at 1% regardless of the leverage you use. This ensures stable trading conditions across all instruments.
Stop level
The Stop level is subject to change and may not be available for traders using certain high-frequency trading strategies or Expert Advisors.
