How to Spread Bet on the Italy 40? |
As with a variety of markets, you are able to spread bet on indices, such as the Italy 40, to either rise or fall.
Looking at the IGIndex spread trading website, they are showing the Italy 40 March Futures market at 21945.0 - 21955.0. This means you can spread bet on the Italy 40 market:
- Settling higher than 21955.0, or
- Settling lower than 21945.0
On the settlement date for this 'March' market, 18-Mar-11.
Whilst making a spread bet on the Italy 40 index you trade in £x per point. So, if you chose to invest £1 per point and the Italy 40 moves 50.0 points then that would make a difference to your bottom line of £50. £1 per point x 50.0 points = £50.
For short term trading on indices also see Indices Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Italy 40 Futures Spread Betting Example
Now, if you consider the spread of 21945.0 - 21955.0 and assume:
- You have done your analysis of the stock markets, and
- Your analysis leads you to feel that the Italy 40 will finish higher than 21955.0 by 18-Mar-11
Then you could decide to buy a spread bet at 21955.0 and invest, for example, £0.50 per point.
Therefore, you make a profit of £0.50 for every point that the Italy 40 index rises above 21955.0. However, such a bet also means that you will make a loss of £0.50 for every point that the Italy 40 market goes lower than 21955.0.
Looking at this from another angle, should you ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your profits (or losses) are found by taking the difference between the closing price of the market and the initial price you bought the market at. You then multiply that difference in price by your stake.
So if, on the settlement date the Italy 40 closed higher at 22152.6, then:
Profit = (Final Price - Initial Price) x stake
Profit = (22152.6 - 21955.0) x £0.50 per point stake
Profit = 197.6 x £0.50 per point stake
Profit = £98.80 profit
Speculating on indices, by spread trading or otherwise, may not go to plan. With this example, you wanted the index to increase. Naturally, the index might go down.
If the Italy 40 had fallen and settled at 21779.4, you would end up making a loss and losing on this market.
Loss = (Final Price - Initial Price) x stake
Loss = (21779.4 - 21955.0) x £0.50 per point stake
Loss = -175.6 x £0.50 per point stake
Loss = -£87.80 loss
