Using spread betting in Ireland, Irish traders can speculate on financial markets such as forex, indices, commodities, and stocks without having to purchase the underlying asset. Ireland Spread betting is a popular derivative product that allows Irish spread betting traders to speculate instead, on whether they believe the spread betting price will climb or decline in the near future.
Ireland spread betting is leveraged, which means you'll utilise a little deposit (known as margin) to build a greater position than Ireland traders would normall be able too. Just keep in mind that because both Ireland losses and gains are computed on the full position size, Irish traders total losses and earnings could exceed their initial Ireland deposits. Ireland spread betting is tax-free because Irish traders are not acquiring ownership of the underlying asset.
