How to Spread Bet on the Euro Stoxx 50? |
As with a range of markets, investors can speculate on stock market indices, such as the Euro Stoxx 50, to either rise or fall.
Looking at a site like FinancialSpreads, we can see they have priced the Euro Stoxx 50 March Futures market at 2500 - 2503. Therefore, an investor can spread bet on the Euro Stoxx 50 market:
 Finishing higher than 2503, or
 Finishing lower than 2500
On the closing date for this 'March' market, 15-Mar-13.
When making a spread bet on the Euro Stoxx 50 index you trade in £x per point. Therefore, should you decide to risk £4 per point and the Euro Stoxx 50 moves 40 points then there would be a difference to your P&L of £160. £4 per point x 40 points = £160.
For short term trading on indices also see Indices Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Euro Stoxx 50 Futures - Index Trading Example |
Now, if we consider the above spread of 2500 - 2503 and assume:
- You've completed your analysis of the index, and
- Your analysis suggests that the Euro Stoxx 50 index will close above 2503 by 15-Mar-13
Then you could decide that you are going to go long of the market at 2503 and risk, for the sake of argument, £4 per point.
Therefore, you make a profit of £4 for every point that the Euro Stoxx 50 index rises higher than 2503. However, it also means that you will lose £4 for every point that the Euro Stoxx 50 market decreases below 2503.
Put another way, should you buy a spread bet then your P&L is worked out by taking the difference between the final price of the market and the initial price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that difference in price by your stake.
As a result, if, on the expiry date, the Euro Stoxx 50 market closed higher at 2534, then:
Profit = (Settlement Level - Initial Level) x stake
Profit = (2534 - 2503) x £4 per point stake
Profit = 31 x £4 per point stake
Profit = £124 profit
Trading stock market indices, whether by spread betting or not, is not simple. With the above, you had bet that the index would go up. However, it might go down.
If the Euro Stoxx 50 decreased and closed lower at 2475, you would end up making a loss and losing money on this market.
Loss = (Settlement Level - Initial Level) x stake
Loss = (2475 - 2503) x £4 per point stake
Loss = -28 x £4 per point stake
Loss = -£112 loss
Note: Euro Stoxx 50 March Futures spread quoted as of 26-Sep-12.
