Forex Spread Betting - Market Review
Spread Betting on Forex - 22 February 2012
As we expected, those spread betting on the EUR / USD forex pair saw the euro surge on the back of the news that Greece's bailout was approved. There may have been a case though, for profit taking as the single currency failed to maintain the gains and ended the day down 10 points.
The dollar found strength against the yen and shot to a six-month high, as the speculation is that the US economy is growing and the need for quantitative easing may reduce. This morning USD / JPY is trading at ¥80.180 and is in a strong uptrend, which could potentially continue.
Spread Betting on Forex - 21 February 2012
With Greece managing to avoid a default as the EU agreed their next bailout this allowed the euro to enjoy a nice move higher of over 100 pips against the dollar.
The single currency also reached a three-month high against the yen, with the EUR / JPY spread betting market hitting levels not seen since mid-November, further pushing out the demand for safe haven currencies.
This morning EUR / USD is trading at $1.3250 and could see its fourth consecutive positive day on the back of the recent fundamentals.
Spread Betting on Forex - 20 February 2012
The risk taking on the equity markets is also filtering through to the FX spread betting markets this morning, as we saw Eurozone finance ministers potentially giving the €130bn bailout package the go ahead.
Both this, and the cut the banks’ cash reserves requirements by the People’s Bank of China over the weekend, adds to the hopes of a stimulus to economic growth. The result is a weakening dollar and yen as safe havens are off the cards for now.
The newly-injected optimism in the market could see the euro push higher on the back of it and this morning EUR/USD is seeing a bit of upside, taking it to $1.3195 at the time of writing. Like equity markets, however, it has just softened a little since the start of today’s session.
Spread Betting on Forex - 17 February 2012
As the equity spread betting markets recovered from their lows, so did the euro after briefly dipping below $1.3000. The move below the big figure didn't last all that long before the bulls were back in town adding over one hundred ticks to EUR/USD.
The rumour was that the ECB was exchanging Greek bonds for new securities and thus increasing the chances that the bailout will go ahead.
This morning EUR/USD is trading at $1.3125 and near term support and resistance are seen at $1.3040, $1.2970 and $1.3190, $1.3215 respectively.
The bounce in risk assets was very much to the detriment of the Japanese yen which gave a boost to USD/JPY allowing the pair to continue its move above the 200 day moving average.
This hasn't been seen since April last year and so is believed to be quite a significant move.
Usually during a move into riskier assets you'd expect the dollar to suffer, but yesterday's bullish economic data sent the US currency higher against the yen.
At the time of writing USD/JPY is at ¥79.10 and near term support and resistance is seen at ¥78.50, ¥78.15 and ¥79.30, ¥79.50 respectively.
Spread Betting on Forex - 16 February 2012
On the currency spread betting front, the euro has not been immune to the sell off in risk assets and has even been pre-empting the weakness of the past few days after commencing its sell off earlier in the week.
EUR/USD is now back below the $1.3000 level as the bears seem to be taking charge again and they are hoping that this is the start of a more prolonged downward trend building up.
For EUR/USD near term support and resistance is seen at $1.2980, $1.2950 and $1.3110, $1.3155, $1.3190 respectively.
Spread Betting on Forex - 15 February 2012
Ahead of news that today’s Eurozone finance ministers’ meeting was to be cancelled, speculation amongst traders was that Greece’s proposed bailout package is in danger.
The knock on effect was a third consecutive fall for those spread betting on the EUR / USD market.
It seems that China have come to the rescue at the right time and given the euro a much needed boost and we are seeing the single currency trade higher this morning at $1.3160. With European equities up this morning there may be more room for the euro to move higher.
Spread Betting on Forex - 14 February 2012
Moody’s have highlighted something that we’ve mentioned quite regularly in this comment which is that the UK is not immune to having its prized triple A credit rating from being stripped away.
The ratings agency highlights that it had not done this before because the country had been quick to start tackling the deficit, but now that growth is being impaired the deficit reduction targets are looking unlikely to be hit.
The likelihood of an actual downgrade is put at around 30% chance, so significant and ever more likely if growth doesn’t pick up.
The highlight of the day from an economic data front is inflation numbers which should show CPI fall from 4.2% to 3.6%, a welcome sign for consumers and primarily due to last year’s VAT hike falling out of the figures.
The question is however, how far will inflation fall this year? Unfortunately for the consumer perhaps not as far as they would hope since crude oil prices remain stubbornly high and the BoE continues to pump cash into the system.
On the FX spread betting markets, the Euro bears were happy to see a pull back in the single currency yesterday as resistance around the €1.3300 level remains a bridge too far for the bulls.
EUR/USD is at €1.3160 at the time of writing and, until the weekend’s vote in Greece gets the nod from the EU and IMF, upward momentum for the single currency is unlikely to be forthcoming.
The EU finance ministers also meet tomorrow to finalise the PSI deal which is also keeping traders on the sidelines for now. Over the near term support and resistance is seen at €1.3115, €1.3085 and €1.3230, €1.3285 respectively.
Spread Betting on Forex - 13 February 2012
Any spread betting account holders who went long of the euro on Friday are likely to be thanking the Greek parliament for passing approval of the austerity measures.
The news that Greece are likely to get a second bailout encouraged traders to move out of any safe haven yen and dollar positions, causing a spike in the single currency as of last night.
This has continued into this morning and EUR/USD is trading around $1.3275.
The taste for equities and risk taking today, could see the euro move higher in line with this sentiment, but the bulls need to shake out the bears around the $1.3300 level which remains the major near term hurdle.
Spread Betting on Forex - 10 February 2012
The euro is just giving a little bit back in line with the weakness on the open of indices. The EUR/USD spread betting market has rejected the $1.3300 level and is at $1.3255 at the time of writing.
Here it looks like traders are just cutting their exposure to the single currency a little ahead of the weekend as few will want too much exposure ahead of the Greek parliament vote.
Considering the length of time it has taken to get to the conclusion of these recent talks, there's no guaranteeing a vote will be achieved.
The short term trend still remains bullish and so we can't discount further gains unless support levels around $1.3200, which was past resistance and $1.3100 are tested.
Spread Betting on Forex - 09 February 2012
The euro remained well supported yesterday and is climbing again this morning having hit $1.3300 earlier and just pulling back to $1.3285 at the time of writing.
At the moment the momentum continues to favour the bulls and the short term trend is upwards.
It would seem that to put an end to this strength there would have to be some rather negative comments from the ECB today or even a surprise interest rate cut. Nevertheless, neither of these outcomes are likely, so for now it’s tough being a bear of the single currency.
Spread Betting on Forex - 08 February 2012
In the currency spread betting market, the euro's recent rally seems to be gathering momentum as the Greece deadline looms and pressure mounts.
The feeling that a deal is around the corner is helping lift the single currency and this morning EUR/USD is at $1.3280, building on its seven month high that it recorded yesterday.
A break through the $1.3200 level is quite significant and is a further blow to the bears who continue to be squeezed.
As shorts in the euro become fewer and fewer, the closing of these positions only serves to give more momentum to the rally. Soon some of these bears will probably turn into bulls, if they haven't already, possibly adding further strength.
For now the short term support and resistance is seen at $1.3200, $1.3165 and $1.3290, $1.3325 respectively.
Spread Betting on Forex - 07 February 2012
The real deadline for the Greek talks has been set at next Wednesday as this is apparently the time at which a resolution has to be agreed upon in order for the necessary legalities to be formalised ahead of the 20th March bond exchange.
Otherwise its default time and Greece really will exit the euro.
Even though the possibility of such an event is becoming more and more likely the spread betting markets have remained surprisingly strong.
This is particularly interesting since many analysts have been increasing the likelihood of a Greek exit and the politicians there have been discussing it themselves.
Whilst the country has benefited hugely from being a part of the euro, the situation now makes exit a laudable outcome. They’ll have all their debt wiped off and their currency would plummet, devaluing it massively and assisting in the country becoming competitive again.
If the next bailout does go through then you can safely bet that we’ll be discussing the Greek issue again in the near future.
We said in yesterday’s comment that the euro is likely to continue it’s decline until there is more optimism with regard to the Greeks striking a deal with their creditors and that’s exactly what happened.
Fearing an onslaught for the euro, Chancellor Merkel made a television appearance and stated “the EU cannot accept a Greek bankruptcy”.
This of course, encouraged those investors spread betting on forex to get long of the euro again and continued into this morning.
The euro traded against the dollar as high as $1.3167 earlier, but could let off a bit of steam as the day goes on.
Spread Betting on Forex - 06 February 2012
In line with equities, the forex spread betting markets are risk-off and the single currency is down against the dollar to $1.3060. Until we see some optimism with regard to the Greek debt situation, the uncertainty may provide for further falls in the euro.
The euro’s weakness this morning is affecting its relationship with sterling too as the GBP / EUR spread betting market continues to hold onto the €1.2000 level, with the pair at €1.2062 at the time of writing.
Regularly in the past sterling has lost momentum against the single currency around this area, but not seemingly this time. Pressure continues to build against the euro as, for some reason, a few currency traders seem to find sterling a slightly safer haven than the euro.
Spread betting and CFD trading carry a high level of risk and you can lose more than your initial deposit so you should ensure spread betting or CFD trading meet your investment objectives and if necessary seek independent advice.

Introduction to Forex Spread Betting
The forex market is the largest and most liquid market in the world with average daily turnover estimated at $3.98 trillion, according to the Bank for International Settlements (BIS).
Also known as FX, foreign exchange, and currency trading, forex was once closed to individual speculators, reserved only for global banks or multi-national corporations. However, with spread betting companies such as Spreadex you can access a wide range of forex spread betting markets.
Benefits of Spread Betting on Forex
The Forex markets are some of the most popular markets in financial spread betting particularly sterling/dollar, euro/sterling, euro/dollar and dollar/yen.
There are many reasons why investors might want to trade the foreign exchange markets:
- The wide range of forex pairs on offer. This can be a major lure to investors owing to the many different ways in which these pairs can move depending on market conditions in the respective countries / currency zones
- With firms like Financial Spreads and IG Index, you can trade a wide range of forex markets 24 hours a day, Monday to Friday.
- The forex spread betting markets can be exciting to trade due to the fact that they can be highly volatile when compared with other shares or indices. Nevertheless, this same volatility can also work against even the most of experienced traders and can lead to quick losses should the market(s) not go in your favour.
- Spread bets are leveraged; therefore you can win more than your initial stake. Remember though, you can also lose more than your initial investment
- Spread betting on forex markets is Tax Free*.
- You can buy and sell the forex markets, ie spread bet on a currency pair to move up or down.
- Note that if you are forex trading then using Stop Loss orders and Guaranteed Stops can help restrict your downside.
The Basics of Spread Betting on Forex
According to spread betting firm, Spreadex, “The simple thing to remember when trading an FX pair is that if you expect a first named currency to appreciate in value against a second named currency you would ‘buy’ a spread bet on that pair. If you expected a first named currency to depreciate in value against a second named currency you would ‘sell’ a spread bet on that pair.
“For example, if you expect the pound to gain against the dollar you would ‘buy’ GBP/USD, which may mean you placing a £4 buy on a Spreadex quote of $1.6550-$1.6553 (so you would buy at $1.6553). If you expect the pound to fall against the dollar you would ‘sell’ GBP/USD at $1.6550 in the above example.
“Also remember that the spread is usually based on movements per 0.0001 of the currency (with the one exception being USD/JPY which is traded per ¥0.01 of currency movement).
“Given that currency movements can be very volatile this can result in potentially huge swings meaning large profits, or alternatively large losses. So ensure you have stop losses or guaranteed stops in place to limit your downside.
“Also, with Spreadex you will need 100 x your stake as an available trading balance to cover the potential volatility. So, based on the £4 stake size example above, you would need £412 available as a trading balance to place the trade (100 x your £4 stake plus £12 to cover the spread [3 pips x £4]).
“You can place FX bets on both spot or future prices with Spreadex. Spot prices are tighter (giving you greater value in your spread bet), however if you wanted to keep a spot trade open for longer than a day you would incur a rolling charge. You would also need to make sure you had your trade preferences set for your trade to roll. Future FX spreads are wider, but you would not incur a roll charge if you wanted to keep the trade open for a longer period of time.”
How to Spread Bet on Forex
For example, let's say you are considering speculating on the EUR/USD rate, so you go on a spread betting website, like FinancialSpreads.com, and see the current market price at:
Here's what you need to know:
| Spread Betting Market: | EUR/USD Rolling Daily |
| Spread: | $1.38000 - $1.38010 |
| This Means: | You can trade on the EUR/USD Rolling Daily market to move:
 Above $1.38010, or
 Below $1.38000
This is a 'Rolling Daily' trade which means that there is no settlement date. If you don't close your position, and the trading session ends, then your trade will automatically roll over into the next session.
If a trade is rolled over then you will normally either be charged or receive a small fee for overnight financing based upon whether you are speculating on the market to rise or fall.
For further details also see Rolling Spread Bets. |
| Points Traded: | Bets on the EUR/USD market are priced in £x per point.
Where a point is $0.00010 of the forex pair's price movement.
E.g. if EUR/USD moves $0.00350 then you would lose or win 35 multiples of your stake. |
| Stake: | You decide how much you would like to trade per point, e.g. £2 per point, £3 per point, £8 per point etc. |
| Quick Staking Exercise: | If, as an example, you have a stake of £4 per point and EUR/USD changes by $0.00240 (24 points), you would lose / win £4 per point x 24 points = £96. |
Financial Spread Betting Example | Buying EUR/USD
Spread betting on the forex pair to rise - i.e. on the euro to get stronger
| You Decide Whether to Buy or Sell: |
EUR/USD to push:
Above $1.38010? or
Below $1.38000?
|
| Let’s Assume You Decide to Buy: | Above $1.38010 |
| You Select Your Stake Size, Selecting: | £2 per point |
| What Happens Next? |
- You make £2 for each point ($0.00010) the EUR/USD rate pushes above $1.38010
- You will make a loss of £2 for every point ($0.00010) the EUR/USD rate drops below $1.38010
|
| When You Buy a Spread Bet Your Trading Profits or Losses = | (Final Price - Initial Price) x stake per point |
| | |
| Example 1 | EUR/USD moves higher and the financial spread betting market is revised and changes to $1.38700 - $1.38710. |
| Time to Take a Profit? | You could opt to leave your position open or close it, i.e. close your position to lock in a profit. In this example you choose to settle your trade by selling at $1.38700. |
| Your Trading Profits or Losses = | (Final Price - Initial Price) x stake per point |
| ($1.38700 - $1.38010) x £2 per point (£2 per $0.00010) |
| $0.00690 x £2 per point |
| 69 points x £2 per point |
| Your Trading Profits or Losses = | £138.00 profit |
| | |
| Example 2 | EUR/USD pushes lower and the spread trading market adjusts and moves to $1.37389 - $1.37399. |
| Close and Restrict the Loss? | At this point, you can decide to leave your trade open or close it in order to limit your losses. In this case you choose to close your trade and sell the market at $1.37389. |
| Your Trading Profits or Losses = | (Final Price - Initial Price) x stake per point |
| ($1.37389 - $1.38010) x £2 per point (£2 per $0.00010) |
| -$0.00621 x £2 per point |
| -62.1 points x £2 per point |
| Your Trading Profits or Losses = | -£124.20 loss |
Fully Worked Spread Betting Example | Taking a Bearish View of EUR/USD
Spread betting on the forex pair to fall - i.e. on the euro to get weaker
| You Work Out Whether to Buy or Sell: |
EUR/USD moving:
Above $1.38010? or
Below $1.38000?
|
| Let's Say You Decide to Go Short: | Below $1.38000 |
| You Decide Your Stake Size, Let's Assume You Select: | £3 per point |
| So Now What Happens? |
- You will make a loss of £3 for every point ($0.00010) the EUR/USD rate rises higher than $1.38000
- You make £3 for every point ($0.00010) the EUR/USD rate goes lower than $1.38000
|
| When Speculating on a Market to Fall Your Trading Profits or Losses = | (Initial Price - Final Price) x stake per point |
| | |
| Example 3 | EUR/USD falls and the market is moved to $1.37611 - $1.37621. |
| Take a Profit? | At this point, you may choose to leave your position open or close it, i.e. close your spread bet to lock in a profit. For this example, you decide to close your trade by buying the market at $1.37621. |
| Your Trading Profits or Losses = | (Initial Price - Final Price) x stake per point |
| ($1.38000 - $1.37621) x £3 per point (£3 per $0.00010) |
| $0.00379 x £3 per point |
| 37.9 points x £3 per point |
| Your Trading Profits or Losses = | £113.70 profit |
| | |
| Example 4 | EUR/USD increases and the spread betting market is adjusted to $1.38332 - $1.38342. |
| Close and Limit the Loss? | At this point, you could choose to leave your trade open or close it and restrict your losses. In this instance you choose to settle your trade and buy at $1.38342. |
| Your P&L = | (Initial Price - Final Price) x stake per point |
| ($1.38000 - $1.38342) x £3 per point (£3 per $0.00010) |
| -$0.00342 x £3 per point |
| -34.2 points x £3 per point |
| Your P&L = | -£102.60 loss |
EUR/USD Notes:
- Financial spread trading market as per FinancialSpreads.com, 2 November 2011
- Many spread betting companies also let you spread bet on EUR/USD in euros/point and dollars/point
- Financial spread trading also allows you to speculate on the movement of a broad range of other markets, for more information please see:
Spread Betting on Forex - Technical Analysis
Many FX traders use technical indicators to gauge whether a given currency is likely to rise or fall against another currency. You can use Spreadex’s charting software to draw support and resistance lines on different pairings to work out your trading strategy. Among the different signals traders look out for are Continuation Patterns and Reversal Patterns.
- Continuation Patterns give indications of whether a trend has the capacity to continue its current direction. Typical examples of Continuation Patterns involve the formation of Pennants, Flags, Wedges and Triangles.
- Reversal Patterns give indications on the likelihood of a trend reversing. Typically this will involve the formation of Double Tops and Double Bottoms, Triple Tops and Triple Bottoms and Head and Shoulders Tops and Head and Shoulders Bottoms.

Spread Betting of Forex - Hedging
Forex spread betting can also be used as a hedging tool, for example, for a forthcoming holiday. Say, for example, you had booked a family holiday to the USA for later in the year and expected the pound to lose ground against the dollar.
Rather than changing money now and tying up capital, you could instead place a ‘sell’ spread bet on GBP/USD. Therefore any fall in value of the pound against the dollar in the intervening time period would be offset by the profit gained from your 'sell' spread bet.
A Review of the Forex Market
Although in theory you can trade on any international currency pairing, the vast majority of FX trading is carried out on the following major pairings: AUD/USD, EUR/GBP, EUR/JPY, EUR/USD, GBP/JPY, GBP/USD, NZD/USD, USD/CAD, USD/CHF and USD/JPY.
Note that it’s not that easy to speculate on certain currencies. As of 2011, the Chinese Renminbi (aka Chinese Yuan and CNY) is not a free-floating currency. So even though China is the world’s second largest economy, it is far from easy to take positions on any Renminbi based FX pairs.
According to the 2010 BIS forex survey;
- Global forex turnover was 20% higher in April 2010 than in April 2007. The average daily turnover rose to $4.0 trillion compared to $3.3 trillion.
- The increase was driven by the 48% growth in turnover of spot transactions, which represent 37% of forex market turnover. Spot turnover rose to $1.5 trillion in April 2010 from $1.0 trillion in April 2007. In forex spread betting terms, read ‘spot’ as a daily market rather than a futures markets.
- With regards to the counter-parties, the higher global forex market turnover is associated with the increased trading activity of “other financial institutions” - a category that includes, but is not limited to, non-reporting banks, pension funds, hedge funds, insurance companies, mutual funds and central banks. Turnover by this category grew by 42%, increasing to $1.9 trillion in April 2010 from $1.3 trillion in April 2007. For the first time, activity of reporting dealers with other financial institutions surpassed inter-dealer transactions (ie transactions between reporting dealers).
- The survey shows how EUR/USD, which commands 28% of all forex turnover, eclipses trade in all other currency pairs. USD/JPY accounts for 14% of activity and GBP/USD 9%. No other forex market accounts for more than 6% of the market.
- The percentage share of the US dollar has continued the slow decline witnessed since the April 2001 survey, while the Japanese yen and euro gained relative to April 2007.
Among the 10 most actively traded currencies, the Canadian and Australian dollars both increased market share, while the Swiss franc and pound sterling lost ground. The market share of emerging market currencies increased, with the biggest gains for the Korean won and Turkish lira.
- Forex trading activity became more global, with cross-border transactions representing 65% of trading activity in April 2010, while local transactions account for 35%.
- The relative ranking of forex trading centres has changed slightly from the previous survey. Banks located in the UK accounted for 36.7%, against 34.6% in 2007, of all forex market turnover, followed by the United States (18%), Japan (6%), Singapore (5%), Switzerland (5%), Hong Kong (5%) and Australia (4%).
Factors that can Influence the Forex Markets
There are many different factors which can influence the value of one currency against another specific currency, some of the key factors to consider include:
- Inflation - as a general rule, countries with consistently lower levels of inflation will experience a rising currency value and those with higher inflation typically see their currency fall in value against other trading currencies.
- Interest Rates - high interest rates can attract foreign capital if an opportunity exists for a higher return relative to other countries. This can therefore drive up the value of a currency. However note that high inflation can counteract this rise.
- Public Debt - countries with a large public debt can be less attractive to foreign investors by encouraging inflation. They also run the risk of defaulting on their debt obligations and as such they incur a poor credit rating. In turn, this can devalue a currency.
- Terms of Trade - linked to current accounts and a country's balance of payments, the terms of trade compare import prices to export prices. If the price of exports rises by more than that of imports, a country can see the value of its currency rise.
- Political Stability / Economic Performance - stable countries with a strong economic performance are more likely to attract foreign investment than less secure countries. Any political turmoil or instability will often result in a country’s currency losing value.
Spread Betting of Forex - Groups
The currency markets are split into 3 groups:
- The Majors: The most active and widely traded currency pairs. For example, Euro/Dollar, Dollar/Yen and Euro/Sterling
- The Minors: The less active and less liquid currency pairs which are less popular than the Majors but more popular than Exotics. Example include the Pound/South African Rand, New Zealand Dollar/Swiss Franc and Dollar/Swedish Krona, Sterling/Canadian Dollar
- The Exotics: Foreign exchange pairs that are less broadly traded than any of the Major and Minor currencies. For example, Dollar/Czech Koruna, Sterling/Hungarian Forint, Dollar/Mexican Peso, Euro/Polish Zloty
With financial spread betting you can lose more than your original stake or investment. Spread betting carries a high level of risk to your capital. Please familiarise yourself with the risks that are involved and before trading, ensure that financial spread betting matches your investment objectives. Seek independent advice where necessary.
