Financial Spreads Offers Overnight Trading on the US Election

LONDON - Nov. 8, 2016 - PRLog -- Financial Spreads, the UK-based spread trading CFD and forex trading company, will be trading key markets throughout the night as America votes for its 45^th President.

Markets likely to move due to the US election result will be open for trading. These include:

- Forex: EUR/USD, USD/JPY and GBP/USD

- Commodities: Gold

- Stock market indices: Wall Street 30, SPX 500 and the US Tech 100

Reduced Leverage and the US Election

Financial Spreads offers leveraged trading which is a high risk form of trading.

According to Adam Jepsen, the Founder of www.financialspreads.com, due to higher than normal market volatility, the company has reduced the amount of leverage that clients can use.

"We have already warned clients about the likelihood of high volatility and also reduced the margin (leverage) that clients can use.

"Having said that, clients can still trade with 'x50' leverage; trading remains high risk."

Trading Trend Warning

The company has also issued a warning on FinancialSpreads.com about trading false trends.

The VIX (volatility index) has been hitting its highest levels since the UK referendum and Adam Jepsen thinks that investors should think twice before trading.

"In the aftermath of the UK referendum, the VIX hit 26.7. Prior to the US election, the VIX has already hit the 23 mark.

"Anyone trading the markets should think twice. Not trading until after the election, and when the markets have calmed down, can be a viable option.

"Investors should also be wary of any market trends going into the election. Financial markets can get carried away with themselves.

"For example, on the day of the UK referendum there was constant buying of the FTSE 100 until the voting showed that Brexit was likely. Then there was some very quick selling."

Financial Spreads Urges Caution

The London-based firm has also been urging caution due to the possibility of rapid market movements.

"If Donald Trump wins, it's easy to imagine traders hitting the sell button. It's possible that the US stock market will see a quick 3-5% fall. The US dollar could also weaken by a similar amount.

"Short-term volatility could also remain high as traders try to guess what a Trump Presidency would mean for the financial markets.

"If Hillary Clinton wins then the moves are likely to be less dramatic but very short-term volatility could remain high. Investors should still be careful," concluded Jepsen.
