Stock CFDs allow traders to take directional positions on price movements without purchasing equity shares or obtaining shareholder voting rights. Positions can be taken long or short using margin-based leverage, though dividend adjustments may apply to eligible holdings. The product differs from traditional equity ownership by providing price exposure while excluding ownership benefits and shareholder privileges.
EC Markets integrated market research capabilities into its Stock CFD platform through EC Insights, powered by Acuity Trading. The feature aggregates market sentiment, technical analysis, news, and market intelligence within a single interface, eliminating the need for clients to switch between trading and research platforms.
The offering covers major US corporations including Microsoft, Alphabet, JPMorgan Chase, Visa, Netflix, Disney, Walmart, and Coinbase. Clients gain access to positions across diversified industries, from semiconductor and automotive to banking and consumer goods.
