The spread is the difference between the ‘buy’ and ‘sell’ price of a financial instrument. It’s also known as the bid-ask spread or buy-ask spread. The spread is one of the key costs when trading CFDs, so identifying tight spreads is a key element in cost saving. We offer consistent and competitive spreads across all our financial instruments, starting at just 0.7 points. See our range of markets page for more information on spreads.
