How to Spread Bet on Rio Tinto? |
If you are looking to speculate on firms such as Rio Tinto then one solution could be to place a spread bet on the Rio Tinto share price.
Looking at a website like FinancialSpreads.com, you can see that they have put the Rio Tinto Rolling Daily market at 3168.5p - 3172.0p. As a result, you can spread bet on the Rio Tinto share price:
Increasing above 3172.0p, or
Decreasing below 3168.5p
When making a spread bet on FTSE 350 equities you trade in £x per penny. As a result, should you choose to invest £4 per penny and the Rio Tinto share price changes by 33p then there would be a difference to your bottom line of £132. £4 per penny x 33p = £132.
Rolling Daily Shares Markets
This is a Rolling Daily Market which means that unlike a normal spread betting futures market, there is no closing date. If you leave your position open at the end of the day, it will stay open and roll over into the next trading session.
If you do roll over a bet and you are spread betting that the market will:
Go up - then you will be charged a small overnight financing fee, or
Go down - then a small payment is normally credited to your account
For a more detailed example see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Rio Tinto Rolling Daily - Shares Spread Betting Example |
So, if we consider the spread of 3168.5p - 3172.0p and make the assumptions:
- You have completed your market analysis, and
- Your research suggests that the Rio Tinto share price will move higher than 3172.0p
Then you may buy a spread bet at 3172.0p and risk, for the sake of argument, £2 per penny.
So, you win £2 for every penny that the Rio Tinto shares increase and go above 3172.0p. Nevertheless, such a bet also means that you will lose £2 for every penny that the Rio Tinto market decreases lower than 3172.0p.
Put another way, should you buy a spread bet then your profits (or losses) are calculated by taking the difference between the closing 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 days the share price started to increase then you might think about closing your spread bet to lock in your profit.
If that happened then the spread, determined by the spread betting company, could be adjusted to 3241.8p - 3245.3p. You would settle your position by selling at 3241.8p. Therefore, with the same £2 stake this trade would make you a profit of:
Profit / loss = (Closing Level - Initial Level) x stake
Profit / loss = (3241.8p - 3172.0p) x £2 per penny stake
Profit / loss = 69.8p x £2 per penny stake
Profit / loss = £139.60 profit
Financial spread betting doesn't always work out as you would have liked. In this example, you wanted the share price to rise. However, it could fall.
If the Rio Tinto shares had started to fall then you might choose to close your position to limit your losses.
So if the spread dropped to 3108.6p - 3112.1p then you would settle your position by selling at 3108.6p. Accordingly, your loss would be:
Profit / loss = (Closing Level - Initial Level) x stake
Profit / loss = (3108.6p - 3172.0p) x £2 per penny stake
Profit / loss = -63.4p x £2 per penny stake
Profit / loss = -£126.80 loss
Note - Rio Tinto Rolling Daily spread correct as of 17-Oct-12.

Applying Technical Analysis to Rio Tinto Shares |
Below we have an older, but still useful, case study on the mining company by Shai Heffetz, InterTrader, 2-Nov-2011.
Rio Tinto is of course one of the world’s largest mining companies and one of the largest FTSE 100 companies. It mines a large variety of metals and minerals, including diamonds, gold, silver, and iron ore.
If we look at the chart below, we see that Rio Tinto is currently trading at the same price it was trading at roughly three months ago at the beginning of August 2011.
Between then and the end of September, it was mainly downhill for the share. It stayed below the 28-day SMA for most of the time and, on the few occasions on which it did venture above the average, it turned around and headed south again almost immediately.
At the beginning of October, we saw a reversal of fortunes for the share. We had a number of up days in a row, causing the share price to break through the 28-day SMA.
After that, we saw a negative price correction during which the price dropped below the SMA again, but it soon recovered.
During the last week, it has broken through the 28-day SMA once again and the last two trading days saw a particularly strong effort by the bulls to push the price upwards.
Technical analysis would suggest that we are definitely in the middle of a short-term bull run. We have seen a new short term high and the SMA has also started levelling out.
Before rushing into a long trade however, keep in mind that on a yearly basis the stock has still seen a negative return of 8.6% on the shares spread betting markets.
We will probably soon see a dip in the price when traders start to take profit. Once that is over and the price resumes its upwards movement, going long becomes an attractive option.
