What are Equity Index CFDs?
An Equity Index CFD is an instrument traders can use to long or short a sector or economy. It provides access to a group of shares like the top 500 largest companies in the US (S&P 500) with a single asset and gives traders the opportunity to profit when the price of the index fluctuates.
