FXCM March Single Share & Stock Baskets Report

AMSTERDAM, April 29, 2022 (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 March in its Single Share CFD and proprietary Stock Basket product lines.

FXCM offers fractional single share trading with no commission fees* on leading companies from the US, UK, France, Germany, Hong Kong and Australia. FXCM’s stock basket products combine the shares of multiple companies from one sector into a single tradeable instrument. The company currently boasts a portfolio of 16 stock baskets. The list of companies and weightings is available on FXCM’s stock basket website (http://www.fxcm.com/nl/markets/stock-baskets/)

Following regulatory concerns related to US listings of Chinese stocks, March was a big month for both US-listed Chinese ADR’s and HK stocks. The most-traded Chinese tech firms, Alibaba Group ADR, Alibaba Group (HK), and Tencent Holdings joined the top five together with Tesla and Amazon. We also saw Ping An Insurance, a China-based insurance company listed on the HK exchange, jump into the top ten traded stocks for the first time.

On the stock basket side, as international travel is normalizing following two years of disruption due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Airlines basket drew significant attention and was second only to FAANG as the most traded basket in March with China Ecommerce, China Tech and ESports & Gaming basket rounding off the top five. After a drop in February, the Uranium basket rejoined the top ten and reached its highest rank since it launched in November last year.

Past Performance and popularity is not an indicator of future results.
