How to Spread Bet on Palladium?
As with many global markets, you are able to place a spread bet on futures markets, like Palladium, to either increase or decrease.Looking at a financial spread betting platform like IG, you can see that they have priced the Palladium March Futures market at $735.90 – $737.90. As a result, an investor can spread bet on Palladium:
Settling above $737.90, or
Settling below $735.90On the closing date for this ‘March’ market, 27-Feb-14.
When spread trading on Palladium you trade in £x per $1.00. Therefore, if you decided to have a stake of £4 per $1.00 and Palladium moves $39.00 then that would make a difference to your profits (or losses) of £156. £4 per $1.00 x $39.00 = £156.
Palladium Futures – Commodity Spread Betting Example
So, if we consider the spread of $735.90 – $737.90 and make the assumptions:- You’ve done your market analysis, and
- Your analysis suggests that the Palladium market will finish above $737.90 by 27-Feb-14
With such a spread bet you make a profit of £4 for every $1.00 that Palladium moves higher than $737.90. However, you will make a loss of £4 for every $1.00 that the Palladium market decreases below $737.90.
Put another way, if you buy a spread bet then your profits (or losses) are 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 price difference by your stake.
Subsequently, if, on the closing date, Palladium closed at $769.30, then:
Profit = (Closing Price – Opening Price) x stake
Profit = ($769.30 – $737.90) x £4 per $1.00
Profit = $31.40 x £4 per $1.00
Profit = £125.60 profit
Spread betting on commodities is not straightforward. In this example, you wanted the commodity to increase. Of course, the commodity could fall.
If Palladium decreased, settling lower at $710.20, then you would end up losing this trade.
Loss = (Closing Price – Opening Price) x stake
Loss = ($710.20 – $737.90) x £4 per $1.00
Loss = -$27.70 x £4 per $1.00
Loss = -£110.80 loss
Note – Palladium March Futures spread betting market taken as of 18-Feb-14.
