Treasury bills like Euro bonds and UK gilts come with a spread of 2 pips. Surprisingly, US T-bonds are more expensive at 3 pips.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nOverall, the likes of forex and gold CFDs come with very competitive spreads. Other asset classes, such as indices and cryptocurrencies, are less competitive. However, and as we cover in the next section, some instruments at CMC Markets can be traded commission-free, so this must be taken into account.<\/p>\n
Trading Commissions<\/h3>\n
First and foremost, CMC Markets does not charge any trading commissions when you buy and sell CFDs, as long as you are not trading stocks. This means that the likes of indices, energies, hard metals, and cryptocurrencies can be traded by just paying the spread.<\/p>\n
In a way, this offsets some of the above-average spreads that we discussed in the prior section. This is also the case when using the CMC Markets spread betting facility, insofar that you won\u2019t need to pay commissions on non-stock trade.<\/p>\n
However, if you do plan to trade CFD stocks listed on major exchanges like the NYSE, NASDAQ, or London Stock Exchange, a commission-based policy will apply. The specific rate that you pay will depend on which marketplace you wish to access.<\/p>\n
