According to GFT, spread betting investors are now well positioned to maximise the current volatility in the forex markets given that the firm has reduced their minimum spreads across a range of major currency pairs.

GFT Markets account holders can now trade the euro/dollar rate with spreads from as low as 0.6pts and the euro/sterling rate from as low as 0.8pts.

GFT Markets say that their spreads are better than the equivalent minimum spreads offered by other leading spread betting providers such as City Index, CMC Markets and IG Index.

Tightest Forex Spreads with GFT

The ongoing sovereign debt crisis in Europe, and the very real prospect of a member state leaving the Eurozone, has spurred a lot of interest in the forex markets.

GFT has seen a 50% increase in EUR/USD transactions over the last six months, as spread betting account holders look to trade in this increasingly volatile market.

According to GFT’s Director of Global Product Management, Martin Slaney, “The steady stream of high profile fundamental announcements concerning the future of the Eurozone has resulted in some defined price action. This in turn has delivered some excellent trading opportunities for spread betting investors.

“GFT’s reduced spreads on major forex pairs provide clients with an optimal position from which to capitalise on current and future developments.”

Forex Markets

Clients can trade over 120 different currency pairs ranging from euro/dollar and sterling/dollar, to the more exotic forex crosses such as Swedish Krona/Polish Zloty (SEK/PLN) and US Dollar/Romanian Lei (USD/RON).

GFT also offers competitive spreads on over 2,900 markets from commodities to shares, and from stock indices to treasuries.
