Assets

Supported Asset Classes

Stonewall Capital offers exposure to various global financial markets via Contracts for Difference (CFDs). Trading via CFDs allows you to speculate on market price shifts without taking physical ownership of the underlying assets.

Forex & Foreign Exchange

The foreign exchange (Forex) market operates as a decentralized global network where national currencies are traded against one another. FX assets are quoted in pairs because purchasing one currency simultaneously implies selling another.

In the EUR/USD exchange rate, EUR acts as the base currency while USD functions as the quote currency. An advancing price indicates European euro appreciation against the US dollar, whereas a declining chart reflects euro weakness relative to the dollar.

Major currency pairs include EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, USD/CHF, USD/CAD, AUD/USD, and NZD/USD. Exchange rates are primarily driven by central bank interest rate decisions, inflation metrics, economic reports, geopolitical shifts, and broader market sentiment.

Trading FX CFDs
Trading forex CFDs grants exposure to exchange rate movements without physical currency exchange. Operations typically involve leveraged margin, bid-ask spreads, overnight swap fees, and fast-moving price action.

Commodities

Commodities comprise raw physical materials and agricultural products. Key traded markets cover precious metals (gold, silver), energy resources (crude oil, natural gas), and soft commodities (coffee, sugar, corn).

Commodity valuations respond to supply-demand dynamics, global inventory levels, climate events, production quotas, supply chain logistics, geopolitical developments, and macroeconomic expectations.

Trading Commodity CFDs
Commodity CFDs allow traders to gain market exposure without handling physical storage, transport, or delivery logistics. Certain contracts are derived from underlying futures markets and may feature fixed expiration or rollover schedules.

Stock Indices

An equity index evaluates the aggregated performance of a predefined group of publicly listed corporations. Major global benchmarks include the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, Dow Jones Industrial Average, FTSE 100, DAX 40, CAC 40, and Nikkei 225.

Index values move in response to corporate earnings announcements, macroeconomic indicators, interest rate forecasts, political developments, sector-specific dynamics, and market sentiment. Index CFDs enable broad market exposure without purchasing individual stock components.

Shares & Equities

Equity shares represent equity stakes in public corporations. Traditional stock ownership may confer shareholder voting privileges and potential dividend distributions depending on company policy and share class.

Trading Share CFDs
Share CFDs track individual stock price movements without granting corporate ownership or voting rights. Account activity may be subject to synthetic dividend adjustments, leverage, spreads, broker commissions, financing fees, and currency conversion charges.

Understanding Asset-Specific Risks

Market liquidity, volatility patterns, trading schedules, margin requirements, and transaction fee structures differ substantially across instrument categories. Carefully review all contract specifications and risk parameters prior to executing leveraged trades.
