CMC Markets delivers the long-awaited Singapore 30

SINGAPORE, May 8, 2012 - CMC Markets is proud to announce that the Singapore 30 has now been launched. Reflecting the Straits Times Index, the new Singapore 30 allows CMC Markets' Singapore clients to trade the market they know best. It is one of three long-awaited Asia-region index CFDs now available on the company's Next Generation platform.

Other exciting index CFD additions that open up trading opportunities around the region are Hong Kong China H-shares, similar to the Hang Seng China Enterprise Index, and the China A50, similar to the FTSE China A50 Index. As clients have been asking for all three of these indices, CMC Markets is delighted to let all traders know that they are finally here, and available on both live and demo Next Generation accounts.

For clients who like the idea of trading on markets further afield, the company has also launched three more global index CFDs, the Belgium 20, India 50 and South Africa 40, bringing a growing total of index CFDs to 26.

Competitive spreads add to the appeal

Spreads on all CMC Markets' new Asian indices are as tight as the company being able to make them and reflect its ongoing commitment to keeping spreads tight across the board. The Singapore 30 spread is the tightest of the new indices at just 2 points. Typical spreads on major indices like the UK 100 and US 30 average near 0.7 points, and start as low as 0.3 points.

CMC Markets has more of the world covered

With the addition of these six new index CFDs, CMC Markets Singapore's clients can now enjoy more coverage of developed and emerging Asian and global markets than ever before on the Next Generation platform.
