What is Markets?
In short
The asset classes a broker lets you trade, from plain shares and ETFs to funds, bonds, options and forex.
Markets are the asset classes a broker lets you buy and sell on its platform. A basic share dealing account covers stocks, exchange traded funds, funds and bonds. A broader platform adds leverage products such as options, futures, forex and contracts for difference. 1822direkt lists stocks, etfs and funds, while 5paisa adds stocks, etfs and options. Abf Trade Eu works in stocks, etfs and forex, and Absa keeps its range to stocks and etfs. Leverage products carry more risk, so the wider the list, the more the risk class varies.
