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. ApoliEX' award-winning trading platform allows you to speculate on the price movements of various stock indices without having to buy the underlying asset.


Spreads

ApoliEX recently reduced its spreads on US indices by 82%¹ and offers the most stable pricing on the market for US30 in particular³. Spreads are always floating, and the values in the table reflect yesterday’s averages. Check the trading platform for live spreads. Please note: Spreads may widen when 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.


Dividends

Dividend amounts may be updated on a daily basis. Check upcoming dividends and read more important information about dividends in our Help Center.


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. You can find a list of all higher margin requirements for indices here.

Frequently asked questions

Indices are statistical measures that track the performance of a group of stocks, representing either a specific sector of the market or the economy as a whole. They serve as benchmarks for overall market trends and help investors understand economic conditions. At ApoliEX, we offer indices CFDs, allowing traders to speculate on the price movements of these indices without owning the actual stocks, providing opportunities to profit from both rising and falling markets.

Trading indices derivatives is a great way to gain exposure to the stock indices market without needing to own the underlying asset.

Because you're speculating on the performance of an index rather than investing in it, you can capitalize on the movements of prices, whether they're going up or down.

You can also use leverage to access the global indices market with a fraction of the capital you would need if you were to invest in indices directly.

Not only does this open up the world of major indices to so many more traders, but it also provides unique trading opportunities over multiple time frames, especially when combined with solid index chart technical analysis.

US indices are highly popular due to the global influence and economic might of the United States, making them key indicators of broader market health. They offer deep liquidity and diverse sector representation and are home to many of the world's largest and most innovative companies. This, coupled with strong historical performance and strict regulatory standards, attracts a wide array of domestic and international investors, facilitating a range of investment opportunities through various financial products such as ETFs and derivatives.

Leverage for US indices is fixed at 1:400. During High Margin Requirement periods, leverage may change to between 1:50 and 1:100.
