How to Spread Bet on News Corp? |
If you are looking to speculate on firms like News Corp then one solution is a spread bet on the News Corp share price.
Looking at a spread betting platform like Inter Trader, you can see they have put the News Corp Rolling Daily market at $28.17 - $28.22. As a result, an investor could spread trade on the News Corp shares:
 Moving above $28.22, or
 Moving below $28.17
When spread trading on US equities you trade in £x per cent. As a result, if you chose to invest £4 per cent and the News Corp share price changes by $0.35 then that would be a difference to your P&L of £140. £4 per cent x $0.35 = £140.
You can also spread bet on this market in Euros or Dollars, e.g. €x per cent.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
One thing to note is that this is a Rolling Daily Market which means that there is no preset settlement date for this market. As a result, if your trade is still open at the end of the trading day, it will simply roll over to the next session.
If a bet is rolled over and you are spread betting on the market to:
Rise - then you'll often be charged a small financing fee, or
Fall - then a small payment is normally credited to your account
To find out more about Rolling Daily Markets read our feature Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
News Corp Rolling Daily - US Shares Spread Betting Example |
If we take the spread of $28.17 - $28.22 and assume that:
- You have analysed the stock markets, and
- Your analysis leads you to feel the News Corp share price is likely to increase and go above $28.22
Then you may decide that you want to buy a spread bet at $28.22 for a stake of, for example, £5 per cent.
With such a bet you make a profit of £5 for every cent that the News Corp shares move higher than $28.22. However, it also means that you will lose £5 for every cent that the News Corp market decreases lower than $28.22.
Looked at another way, if you were to 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 spread at. You then multiply that price difference by your stake.
As a result, if after a few trading sessions the shares started to move upwards then you could choose to close your trade so that you can lock in your profit.
Therefore, if the market moved up then the spread could change to $28.47 - $28.52. You would settle/close your trade by selling at $28.47. So, with the same £5 stake you would make a profit of:
Profit = (Closing Price - Opening Price) x stake
Profit = ($28.47 - $28.22) x £5 per cent stake
Profit = $0.25 x £5 per cent stake
Profit = 25¢ x £5 per cent stake
Profit = £125 profit
Financial spread trading is not always straightforward. In this example, you had bet that the share price would go up. Naturally, the share price could go down.
If the News Corp share price decreased, contrary to your expectations, then you could close your position in order to restrict your losses.
Should the market pull back to $27.95 - $28.00 you would close your position by selling at $27.95. If so, this would result in a loss of:
Loss = (Closing Price - Opening Price) x stake
Loss = ($27.95 - $28.22) x £5 per cent stake
Loss = -$0.27 x £5 per cent stake
Loss = -27¢ x £5 per cent stake
Loss = -£135 loss
