Low Spreads

Take a short- or long-term view

IG Index offer a number of global rates over the next quarter, and a large number of government bonds over the longer-term.

Our short-term interest rates to bet on include US interest rates with our Eurodollar contract, UK interest rates with Short Sterling and eurozone with Euribor – as well as a whole host of other short-term rates.

Take a view on long-term interest rates in the US with our Treasury Bond contract, and gain exposure to UK rates through our Long Gilt contract or to German rates with our German Bund contract.

Remember that financial spread betting is a leveraged product and can result in losses that exceed your initial deposit. Spread betting may not be suitable for everyone, so please ensure that you fully understand the risks involved.
