Indices market conditions

The global index market is a broad network of stock indices that typically include hundreds or thousands of stocks from large to small-cap companies. Danske’ award-winning trading platform allows you to speculate on the price movements of various stock indices without having to buy the underlying asset.

Spreads³

Spreads are always floating, so the spreads in the table above are yesterday’s averages. For live spreads, please refer to the trading platform.

Please note that spreads may widen when the markets experience lower liquidity. This may persist until liquidity levels are restored.


Swaps

Swap values may be updated on a daily basis. If you are a resident of a Muslim country, all accounts are automatically swap-free.


Fixed margin requirements

When trading indices, leverage is fixed at 1:400 for US30, US500 and USTEC, and 1:200 for other indices. All indices’ daily higher margin requirements depend on the specific index.


Stop level

Please note that the stop level values in the table above are subject to change and may not be available for traders using certain high-frequency trading strategies or Expert Advisors.
