Available Trading Instruments

Forex Currency Pairs

We offer over 300 forex pairs, featuring majors like EUR/USD and USD/JPY with competitive spreads. African currency pairs such as USD/ZAR and GBP/ZAR are also available, reflecting regional economic ties important to Kenyan traders. Cross pairs facilitate direct trading between foreign currencies without involving the USD. Exotic pairs include emerging market currencies, though with wider spreads due to liquidity considerations. All forex instruments allow both long and short positions under identical trading conditions.

Commodity Markets

Commodity CFDs cover agricultural products integral to Kenya’s economy, including coffee and maize contracts. Energy commodities like Brent crude oil and natural gas are also offered for diversified exposure. Precious metals such as gold and silver trade with tight spreads, while base metals like copper and aluminum reflect industrial demand. These CFDs are settled in cash, avoiding physical delivery complexities.

Equity CFDs include shares from NYSE, NASDAQ, and London Stock Exchange, among others. Fractional trading enables participation in high-value stocks like Amazon and Tesla without full share purchase. Index CFDs cover benchmarks like S&P 500 and FTSE 100, providing broad market exposure. Volatility indices such as VIX allow speculation on market uncertainty levels. Dividends are adjusted automatically, ensuring comprehensive equity CFD trading.
