A CFD is a financial derivative that allows you to speculate on the price movement of an asset without owning the underlying asset itself. You profit or lose based on the difference between the opening and closing price of the contract. CFDs are available on forex, metals, indices, commodities, crypto, and more.
You open a CFD to buy 1 lot of US30 (Dow Jones) at 40,000. The index rises to 40,100 and you close the position, earning the 100-point difference multiplied by the contract size — without ever owning shares in any Dow Jones company. Prices in this example are illustrative.
