How to Spread Bet on the Spain 35

How to Spread Bet on the Spain 35?


As with a wide variety of global financial markets, an investor can spread bet on stock market indices, like the Spain 35, to either rise or fall.

Looking at Financial Spreads, you can see that they are showing the Spain 35 Rolling Daily market at 7628.5 - 7632.5. Therefore, an investor can spread trade on the Spain 35 index:

  Spain 35 Spread Betting Example Increasing above 7632.5, or
  Spain 35 Spread Trading Example Decreasing below 7628.5

When making a spread bet on the Spain 35 index you trade in £x per point. As a result, should you decide to invest £3 per point and the Spain 35 moves 32 points then there would be a difference to your P&L of £96. £3 per point x 32 points = £96.

Rolling Daily Index Markets

Be aware that this is a Rolling Daily Market and so there is no set closing date for this market. If your position is still open at the end of the day, it just rolls over into the next session.

If you do roll over a position and you are spread betting that the market will:

  Spain 35 Spread Trading Example Go higher - then you are normally charged a small financing fee, or
  Spain 35 Spread Trading Example Go lower - then you will usually receive a small credit to your account

You can find more on Rolling Daily Markets, as well as a fully worked example, in our feature Rolling Daily Spread Betting.


Spanish Stock Market Trading Example


Now, if you consider the spread of 7628.5 - 7632.5 and make the assumptions:
  • You have analysed the markets, and
  • You think that the Spain 35 index will push above 7632.5
Then you could buy at 7632.5 for a stake of, for example, £3 per point.

With such a spread bet you win £3 for every point that the Spain 35 index moves higher than 7632.5. Of course, such a bet also means that you will make a loss of £3 for every point that the Spain 35 market decreases lower than 7632.5.

Thinking of this in a slightly different way, if you were to ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your profits (or losses) are worked out by taking the difference between the closing price of the market and the price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that price difference by the stake.

As a result, if after a few sessions the market started to rise you might decide to close your trade so that you can guarantee your profit.

So if the Spanish stock market increased then the spread might move to 7672.6 - 7676.6. You would settle/close your trade by selling at 7672.6. Accordingly, with the same £3 stake your profit would be calculated as:

Profit = (Closing Price - Opening Price) x stake
Profit = (7672.6 - 7632.5) x £3 per point stake
Profit = 40.1 x £3 per point stake
Profit = £120.30 profit

Trading indices, by spread betting or otherwise, is not always straightforward. In this case, you had bet that the Spanish stock market index would rise. However, the index can also decrease.

If the Spanish stock market had fallen then you could choose to close your position to stop any further losses.

Should the spread pull back to 7598.2 - 7602.2 then you would close your position by selling at 7598.2. If so, that would mean you would lose:

Loss = (Closing Price - Opening Price) x stake
Loss = (7598.2 - 7632.5) x £3 per point stake
Loss = -34.3 x £3 per point stake
Loss = -£102.90 loss

How to Spread Bet on Spanish Shares


If you want to spread bet on Spanish shares like Santander then here is how you could do it.

Looking at a spread betting platform like Capital Spreads, we can see they are currently showing the Santander Rolling Daily market at €5.78 - €5.81. As a result, you could spread bet on the Santander share price:

  Santander Spread Trading Example Moving higher than €5.81, or
  Santander Trading Example Moving lower than €5.78

Whilst financial spread betting on Spanish shares you trade in £x per cent. Therefore, if you decided to invest £4 per cent and the Santander shares move €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

It's important to note that this is a Rolling Daily Market and so there is no settlement date for this market. Should your trade be left open at the end of the trading day, it will roll over to the next trading day.

If your trade does roll over and you are speculating on the market to:

  Santander Trading Example Go up - then you usually pay a small overnight financing fee, or
  Santander Trading Example Go down - then you will normally receive a small credit to your account

You can learn more in our feature Rolling Daily Spread Betting.


Santander Rolling Daily - Spanish Shares Trading Example


So, if we consider the spread of €5.78 - €5.81 and make the assumptions that:
  • You have analysed the stock market, and
  • You think the Santander share price looks like it will push above €5.81
Then you could decide to go long of the market at €5.81 for a stake of £5 per cent.

Therefore, you win £5 for every cent that the Santander shares move higher than €5.81. However, it also means that you will make a loss of £5 for every cent that the Santander market goes lower than €5.81.

Considering this from another angle, if you were to ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your profit/loss is calculated by taking the difference between the settlement price of the market and the initial price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that difference in price by the stake.

With this in mind, if after a few trading sessions the shares started to increase then you might think about closing your position so that you can guarantee your profit. Therefore, if the market moved up then the spread could change to €6.01 - €6.04. You would settle/close your trade by selling at €6.01. Therefore, with the same £5 stake your profit would be calculated as:

Profit / loss = (Final Value - Opening Value) x stake
Profit / loss = (€6.01 - €5.81) x £5 per cent stake
Profit / loss = €0.20 x £5 per cent stake
Profit / loss = 20c x £5 per cent stake
Profit / loss = £100 profit

Speculating on equities, whether by spread betting or not, is not simple. In this case, you wanted the share price to increase. Of course, the share price might decrease.

If the Santander stock decreased, contrary to your expectations, then you might choose to close your spread bet to limit your losses.

Should the spread pull back to €5.62 - €5.65 you would settle your position by selling at €5.62. Therefore, you would make a loss of:

Profit / loss = (Final Value - Opening Value) x stake
Profit / loss = (€5.62 - €5.81) x £5 per cent stake
Profit / loss = -€0.19 x £5 per cent stake
Profit / loss = -19c x £5 per cent stake
Profit / loss = -£95 loss

Note: Santander Rolling Daily market correct as of 12-Oct-12.
