Share prices are driven by company earnings reports, dividend announcements, industry news, economic data and overall market sentiment.
When you trade share CFDs, you don't own the underlying share, but you may receive a dividend adjustment. If you hold a long position on the ex-dividend date, you'll receive an adjustment; if you hold a short position, you'll pay one.
Share CFDs are high-risk products that involve using borrowed money (leverage) to trade. This means you can lose the entirety of your initial investment if the market doesn’t go your way. It’s important to have a solid risk management strategy in place. Trade smart and stay informed.
