Fixed Odds Betting – Bear Bet On The FTSE 100

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

The FTSE 100 currently indicates a very weak opening, as the world prepares for the bankruptcy filing of GM. With no economic data out of UK this morning fixed odds traders will be paying close attention to the unemployment figures from Germany. The FTSE 100 index is likely to spend all day in the red.

Oil is down in early trading after Saudi Arabia’s oil minister stated that OPEC doesn’t need to cut output and as a result U.S. stocks slumped because of concern over higher borrowing costs and the expected chapter 11 filing by General Motors. There is a risk that oil prices will test the 65 dollars per barrel mark by the end of the week, and you can follow my daily oil market commentary by following the link. In addition I also provide daily updates on both the price of gold and spot silver which again provide excellent opportunities for fixed odds trading. Remember that today we have the EIA oil inventory figures ( a day later than usual ) as Monday was a national holiday in the US  so watch for the numbers this afternoon in the fundamental news.

Fixed Odds Trade Of The Day

With futures indicating a lower open for the FTSE a bear bet on the index seems like a good trading opportunity, and my suggestion is for a 7 day bear bet with a trigger at 4500 on the FTSE pays 31% ROI. Good luck with this fixed odds bet and remember, you can find all the latest currency trading news, live news, latest prices on the currency charts, latest movements on the index charts or commodity prices, by following the appropriate links. Remember also that if you are looking for a good fx broker or fixed odds broker, then again just click the relevant link and this will take you to a new page on the fixed odds site, and good luck with this one.
