IG Index has just added a new spread bet market to its already large list. Clients are now able to trade on China A50 futures stock index, and profit from the ups and downs of the Chinese stock market.
China A-shares refers to securities of companies incorporated in mainland China and traded in Renminbi. These shares are restricted for foreign investment, and only some foreign large entities can trade them directly and then repackage as ETF’s and other products.
The addition of the A50 futures index allows traders to obtain exposure to one of the fastest-growing economies, to take a view on currency wars, and to hedge positions in other investments.
