I think you are right in that the spot is derived from the futures price with some adjustment. Can you explain what adjustments apply to the DAX, i.e. what you mean by cost of carry? thank you

THank you, does that have anything to do with negative interest rates? I'm trying to ascertain the cost of carry. I know dividends don't apply to the DAX as it is a total return index so there are no adjustments made to the futures price in this respect.

Hi Does anything know why the mar 22 dax futures price is lower than DAX cash? I thought there was an in-built interest rate applied to futures so making it higher than the cash price?

Hi Question relating to spread betting I am trying to compare the cost of these bet types for longer term trades (say 3 - 6 months) and struggling to understand the dividend aspect. For Rolling bets I will have to be c 2.75% p.a. financing charge + will be credited 90% of the dividend. For...

Hi Does anyone know which provider applied 100% of dividends to UK shares and indices when long? So far, I got spread ex and ETX. Any others, thanks.

Hi For an index (say FTSE 100), how do you know the adjustment made by a provide like IG is correct? Is there transparency around this? Also, if you are long, I believe IG returns 90% of the dividend? Since 16/17 tax year, the 10% notional pension credit was removed so why not payout 100%...

Rather silly question, not sure I came about it. 1. which body (fsa, LSE etc) governs the number of shares a listed company has. as in who keeps a log of this list to ensure it isn't tampered with etc. Thanks.

Martinghoul, interesting for you to reveal your views on gilts...I think jap yields are approx 1% but i beleive theres a good reason for that-they have deflation so even at 1% they get positive returns plus domestic savers soak up most of the G bond issuance. We can't say the same for Gilts. I...
