SYDNEY, Australia, Aug. 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FXCM Group, LLC (“FXCM Group’ or ‘FXCM’), the leading international provider of online foreign exchange trading, CFD trading, cryptocurrencies and related services, is today releasing its data of most popular instruments for the month of July in their Single Share CFD and proprietary Stock Basket product lines.
FXCM offers fractional, single share CFD trading with no commission fees* on leading companies from the US, UK, France, Germany, Hong Kong and, following its July launch, Australia. FXCM’s stock basket products combine the shares of multiple companies from one sector into a single tradeable instrument, and the company currently boasts a portfolio of 14 stock baskets. The list of companies and weightings is available on FXCM’s stock basket website: https://www.fxcm.com/au/stock-baskets/
After having recently joined the S&P500 and tripling its stock price since January, Moderna, (MRNA.us), rose to become the third highest traded share at FXCM in July 2021 following only behind Tesla and Apple. For the first time in 2021, multiple non-US stocks broke into the top ten, with Hong Kong-based, Tencent Holdings appearing in spot five and UK listed HSBC rounding out the July leaders.
FXCM’s Big US Tech FAANG basket re-gained top ranking in July for the first time since February, with four of its components ranking in the top ten single stocks. The Big US Tech FAANG basket was followed by the China Technology and China Ecommerce Baskets, whose components, including Baidu and Pinduoduo, were significantly impacted by recent Chinese regulatory crackdowns.
