Forex index trading

There isn’t a specific forex index on the market. However, we've created bespoke baskets of currency pairs, which allow you to speculate on the price movements of one currency pair against a basket of pairs. Our forex indices include the USD Index and GBP Index.

Our forex indices have a base level price of 1,000 (or 20,000 for the JPY Index), and the weighting of each component within an index is capped at 40% of the total trade volume. Learn more about forex indices

We have one forex index that’s focused on emerging currencies, our CNH Index, as well as minor currencies including the NOK, SEK, and SGD.
