Chi-X is launching trading in a new type of instrument on 8 November 2010 – centrally cleared contracts for difference (ccCFDs). The FSA wishes to clarify in guidance how these instruments should be reported and which parties have transaction reporting obligations.

LCH.Clearnet Limited (LCH.Clearnet), working with Chi-X Europe Ltd, will launch a unique contract-for-difference (CFD) clearing service.

IG Markets, the CFD trading division of IG Group has announced that as from today clients will have access to the best prices from Europe’s top three Multilateral Trading Facilities (MTFs), now including BATS.

IG Markets have just upgraded their direct market access offering to include the ability for traders to benefit from access to UK and European equities via Chi-X and Turquoise, Europe’s leading two MTFs.
