Spread Betting Review
“In the days leading up to the election, buys were also more than double sells as our customers took advantage of a decline in the FTSE 100 amid lingering concerns about the Greek debt crisis.
“Banks continued to dominate trading during the week ending Tuesday 4th May, occupying the top three buy slots and the top two sells.
“Lloyds Banking Group (LLOY) replaced The Royal Bank of Scotland Group (RBS) as the number one buy as it completed its first issue of residential mortgage-backed securities in two years. The £3.4 billion offering attracted strong demand from investors and bolstered the bank’s balance sheet.
“Barclays (BARC) also moved above RBS in the buys list, though RBS remained the most-sold stock among our customers accounting for more than a quarter of sell trades in the Top Ten.
“Trading activity for BP increased as the company’s shares fell on concerns about the oil spill off the US coast and the resulting clean-up bill. This propelled the oil major to the third most-sold stock and the fourth most-bought among our top ten.
“The number of our spread trading clients speculating on BP shares jumped more than fourfold as a slump in the stock wiped billions off the company’s market value.”
“Mining companies also featured strongly among the top ten this week. Xstrata plc (XTA) was the fifth most-bought stock, while Rio Tinto Group (RIO) was sixth, as customers took advantage of declines in shares of both companies after the Australian government announced plans to impose a 40% tax on miners’ profits.
“Rival miner Kazakhmys plc (KAZ) entered the top ten as it announced a joint venture with China’s Jinchuan Group.
“Among other new entrants to the top ten, HMV Group plc (HMV) was the tenth most-bought stock among our customers after the retailer released its pre-close trading statement.
“Marine equipment manufacturer Raymarine (RAY) also featured among the top ten sells after US rival Garmin announced a 15 pence a share takeover offer for the company.”
