Spread betting on interest rate movements allows you to speculate on
the direction of monthly UK, US and European interest rate decisions
made by the relevant Central Banks.
Spreadex's interest rate quotes relate to the UK Short Sterling (a
gauge of UK market interest rates based on a 100 point index), Euribor
(Euro Interbank Offered Rate) and Eurodollar.
Our interest rate spread bet prices work by Spreadex offering a
prediction based on expiry dates in March, June, September and
December - but bets can be opened or closed at any point to realise
profits or limit losses.
The principle here is the opposite to traditional spread betting strategies.
You can 'sell' or short if you think the outcome will be higher than
our price or 'buy' or go long if you feel it will be lower.
This is because the UK Short Sterling works as an inverse index to the
actual interest rates.
If interest rates are at 5% the UK Short Sterling will be at 95.00. If
you expect interest rates to drop to 4.5% you would expect the UK
Short Sterling price to rise to 95.50 so you would 'buy'.
But if you expect interest rates to rise to 5.5% you would expect the
UK Short Sterling price to drop to 94.50 so you would 'sell'.
With our interest rate quotes you trade per 0.01 point.
