Spread betting is a type of financial derivative that allows traders to speculate on the price movements of various financial instruments, such as stocks, currencies, and commodities, without owning the underlying asset. The trader places a bet on whether the price of the asset will rise or fall, and the size of their winnings or losses is determined by the accuracy of their prediction and the size of their bet.
