Spot FX

CMC Markets' customers are offered competitive prices on the world's major currency pairs with bid-ask spreads typically accessible only to the inter-bank Spot market.

CMC Markets offers margin rates of 1% and available trade sizes which, depending upon the traded currency pair, can be as low as US$10,000 (or currency equivalent) and as high as US$1 Billion (or currency equivalent).

All clients are offered the most professional service irrespective of trade size or frequency of dealing.

Foreign exchange trading opens at 6am Monday morning and trades continuously through until Saturday morning. Bullion trading begins on Monday morning and trades continuously through until Saturday morning.

Forward FX

CMC Markets also provides our clients, interested in addressing the interest rate component implicit in the Forward FX markets, with the ability of replacing their open FX positions with a new forward position at a new rate.

To cater to the needs of our diversified client base, CMC Markets quotes both outright and broken-date Forward FX prices so that our clients are able to trade FX for a future settlement date, be it a standard time-frame or a specific date. Margin rates are 1% with minimum trade sizes which, depending upon the traded currency pair, can be as low as US$10,000 (or equivalent) and as high as US$1 Billion.

The ability to quote broken-date Forwards means that clients are able to tailor their FX trades to meet their specific cash-flow, hedging, trading or speculative requirements.

CMC Markets operates a 24 hour order driven Options service, providing clients with information on areas such as Options pricing through to executing the deal. Clients receive OTC currency options comparable with inter-bank prices in deal sizes as small as USD 50,000.

Options can be placed by the telephone or via our online platform. Prices are available on 1 week, 30, 60, 90, 180 and 365 day Options. Bespoke Option spread strategies are available upon request and you can select a date and style that suits your requirements.
