CMC Spread Betting description

Spread bet on over 9,500 financial instruments, 24 hours a day from Sunday night to Friday night, wherever you are.

Our award-winning financial spread betting app* gives CMC Markets’ clients access to real-time trading by spread betting on the price movements of indices, forex, shares, commodities and treasuries.
Financial spread betting allows you to profit from rising and falling markets without owning the underlying asset. Remember, markets can also move against you and losses may exceed your original deposit.
