The new indexes are expected to be a great addition to City Index’s current Brexit trading offering, which currently includes free SMS volatility alerts, FX pairs from 50p a point and a Brexit trading hub featuring the latest related news, market insights and expert analysis.
Cboe Europe has announced that online trading specialist GAIN Capital has signed a license agreement to utilize Cboe’s suite of 18 UK benchmark indexes and the Cboe Brexit High 50/Low 50 Indexes for benchmarking against European markets.
The deal includes the creation of original products across their two leading trading brands; City Index and FOREX.com. The former plans to use two new sector benchmark indexes derived from the Cboe UK All Companies Index – the Cboe UK Banking and Investment Services and Cboe UK Mining and Mineral Product Indexes – as underlying indexes for the creation of CFD instruments to trade on their platforms.
