How to Spread Bet on Glencore

How to Spread Bet on Glencore?


If an investor wants to invest in companies such as Glencore Xstrata then one option could be to place a spread bet on the Glencore Xstrata share price.

Looking at a spread betting platform like FinancialSpreads.com, you can see that they are currently showing the Glencore Xstrata Rolling Daily market at 345.5p - 346.1p. This means an investor could spread bet on the Glencore Xstrata shares:

  Glencore Xstrata Spread Betting Example Increasing higher than 346.1p, or
  Glencore Xstrata Spread Trading Example Decreasing lower than 345.5p

When financial spread betting on UK shares you trade in £x per penny. So, if you decide to have a stake of £5 per penny and the Glencore Xstrata share price moves 30p then there would be a difference to your profit/loss of £150. £5 per penny x 30p = £150.

Rolling Daily Shares Markets

You should note that this is a 'Rolling Daily Market', therefore there is no set closing date for this market. You do not have to close your trade, should it still be open at the end of the trading day, it will just roll over into the next day.

Should your bet roll over, if you are speculating that the market will:

  Glencore Xstrata Spread Trading Example Move higher - then you'll often be charged a small financing fee, or
  Glencore Xstrata Spread Trading Example Move lower - then a small payment is usually credited to your account

Our article Rolling Daily Spread Betting goes into more detail about Rolling Daily Markets and includes a fully worked example.


Glencore Xstrata Rolling Daily - Shares Spread Trading Example


Now, if we continue with the above spread of 345.5p - 346.1p and make the assumptions:
  • You've completed your analysis of the shares, and
  • Your research suggests the Glencore Xstrata share price looks like it will move above 346.1p
Then you could go long of the market at 346.1p for a stake of, for the sake of argument, £15 per penny.

This means that you win £15 for every penny that the Glencore Xstrata shares increase and go higher than 346.1p. Having said that, you will make a loss of £15 for every penny that the Glencore Xstrata market decreases below 346.1p.

Thinking of this in a slightly different way, if you buy a spread bet then your profit/loss is calculated 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 the stake.

As a result, if after a few hours the share price started to increase then you might want to close your trade so that you can secure your profit. If that happened then the spread, set by the spreads firm, might be adjusted to 356.5p - 357.1p. In order to close/settle your position you would sell at 356.5p. So, with the same £15 stake:

Profit = (Closing Value - Opening Value) x stake
Profit = (356.5p - 346.1p) x £15 per penny stake
Profit = 10.4p x £15 per penny stake
Profit = £156.00 profit

Spread betting on shares is not straightforward. In this case, you wanted the share price to increase. Of course, it can also fall.

If the Glencore Xstrata stock had started to fall then you might choose to close your spread bet in order to restrict your losses.

Should the spread pull back to 334.9p - 335.5p then you would settle your spread bet by selling at 334.9p. Accordingly, your loss would be:

Loss = (Closing Value - Opening Value) x stake
Loss = (334.9p - 346.1p) x £15 per penny stake
Loss = -11.2p x £15 per penny stake
Loss = -£168.00 loss

Note - Glencore Xstrata Rolling Daily equities market quoted as of 17-May-13.
