LONDON, Jan. 19, 2022("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 December 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/)
Tesla and Facebook maintained the top two spots in December, however there was a significant shuffle below as Chinese ADRs drew a lot of attention. Alibaba's US listed ADR almost tripled in volume last month, helping it climb to the third most popularly traded instrument, while its Hong Kong listed counterpart also drew attention as it surged into the top ten for the first time. Additionally Chinese EV company XPeng, and KE Holdings, the Chinese real estate agent, also made their first appearances in the rankings.
While there was little change to FXCM's top ten stock baskets rankings during December, both the top two, FAANG and China Tech, doubled trading volume compared to November. Similar to the trend seen in the single shares, Chinese related tech baskets caught FXCM clients' attention in December, as both the ATMX (Big China Tech HKD Basket) and its USD counterpart saw significant increases. Also of note was Uranium, FXCM's newest basket launched only last month, which joined the top ten in only its first full month of trading.
