The stocks listed within an index bear similar characteristics such as trading on the same stock exchange, being in the same industry, having comparable market capitalisations, etc. World-leading Indices are available for trading through CFDs at Plus500.

Commodities - are hard assets ranging from wheat to gold to oil, and as there are so many, they are grouped together in three major categories: agriculture, energy and metals. Commodities are traded by dealers on an open exchange. That means that the prices change every day. Commodities futures are an agreement to buy or sell a commodity at a specific date in the future, at a specific price. Just like the price of bananas at the grocery store, the prices of commodities change on a weekly or even daily basis. The world’s key commodities are available for trading through CFDs at Plus500.

ETFs - (Exchange Traded Funds) - are funds that track indices and commodities like the NASDAQ-100 Index, S&P 500, Dow Jones, Gold etc. The ETF replicates the indices and the commodity markets’ performance. The ETF trades like a common stock and undergoes events such as stock splits and dividend distributions. At Plus500, you can trade through CFDs on some of the world’s most popular ETFs.

Options - are contracts through which a seller gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a specified number of units of the underlying asset at a predetermined price (“Strike Price”) within a set time period (by a stated expiry date). The buyer has an option to buy (“Call”) or sell (“Put”) the underlying asset. The factors that determine the price of an Option include, amongst others: the difference between the current price and the strike price. At Plus500, you can trade through CFDs Options at various strike prices that are the most relevant to the underlying index rate.
