FXCM February Single Share & Stock Baskets Report

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, March 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FXCM Group, LLC ("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 February 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 (https://www.fxcm.com/za/stock–baskets/).

The top of the most traded stocks in February saw little change, but the bottom part of the list contains some bolters. EV company Rivian's continual steep decline caught the attention of FXCM traders as they try to catch some of the action of a company that only a few months ago was trading above $170 but has declined over $100 since December. Last month also saw the return of Google and Pfizer to the top ten.

On the stock basket side, Crypto Stocks continues its steady rise up the ranks since its recent product launch, largely at the expense of the Chinese–focused baskets, which have declined to their lowest positions since inception. But it was the drastic rise of pandemic impacted baskets WFH and Travel that catches the eye, as the global restriction from the Omicron variant diminishes and traders try to ride the wave of the potential impact on the respective baskets.
