STARTRADER adds stock and ETF CFDs to its round-the-clock range
Finbold reported that STARTRADER launched twenty new stock and ETF CFDs on its MT5 servers, tradable Monday to Sunday around the clock.
Why it matters
The products extend broker access around the clock to Asian-listed stocks and ETFs whose exchanges shut before US trading begins, and five of them carry twice-leveraged exposure to SK hynix, Samsung Electronics and the DRAM sector. Significance looks limited: the set contains one outlet relaying a single company press release, no independent confirmation, and no figures on trading volumes or client uptake.
