STARTRADER Adds 49 CFDs for Around-the-Clock Market Access

The expansion includes 30 US stocks, 14 ETFs, and five USD-quoted foreign shares, all available Monday through Sunday. Among the notable additions are key players in the artificial intelligence supply chain, such as SK Hynix and Super Micro Computer. The list also features high-leverage products like the Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X and the Direxion Daily Micron Bull 2X, offering traders significant exposure to sector volatility.

Beyond domestic US names, the broker has opened paths to markets historically difficult to navigate directly. Users can now access GigaDevice from the China A-share market, Tencent and Pop Mart from Hong Kong, and South Korean industrial stalwarts Samsung Electronics and Hyundai. CEO Peter Karsten noted that the selection process focused on providing tools for positions that traders otherwise could not hedge or execute during standard off-hours. Because these CFDs are quoted in USD, traders must account for both underlying share price fluctuations and active exchange-rate movements. Furthermore, for Chinese A-shares, specific price limits or trading suspensions on the home exchange may directly influence the liquidity and execution of the corresponding CFD.
