2018: Will you play the long or short game?

2018 is set to be the third consecutive year of macroeconomic and political excitement, with the continuation of Brexit negotiations, fresh European election races and, of course, the second year of the Trump administration.

Bearing this in mind, it’s worth considering what sort of strategy you want to employ over the next 12 months, and beyond. Do you want to:

  • Trade the short-term market moves on notable events – such as Brexit news conferences, top tier macroeconomic data releases or election results? or;
  • Undertake long-term positions – considering what companies and sectors are likely to be influenced by the ongoing themes that unravel of the course of the year? or even;
  • Employ both strategies to follow a balanced approach?

No matter which camp you are in, Accendo Market’s research caters to you. Let me show you how.

Short-term trading:

Starting with a shorter term view, we make sure our clients are kept abreast of all major events and releases over the next week with our Week in Advance publication, released every Friday. Not wanting to ignore some of the lesser-watched events, such as central banks speakers and lower tier macro data.

Furthermore, those looking to trade high-yield dividend stocks can not only benefit from receiving payment on the ex-dividend date using one of our CFD accounts, but can also utilise our UK Index Ex-Dividend publication, sent out alongside the Week in Advance.

Finally, our range of daily publications uses a broad range of Technical Analysis techniques to cover trading opportunities from UK 100 shares to Global Indices and Commodities, identifying potential trades that might interest our clients. These include our pre-market Morning Report, our UK 100 -focused Another Level and the aptly named Index Focus.

 

Long term trading:

For those of a steelier disposition and of high conviction, holding stocks over a period of weeks or months, there are also a plethora of positives that you can benefit from trading with Accendo.

Our new platform has cut overnight financing rates for our clients, charging a whole 1% less for holding onto stocks over a longer period of time. But it’s not just Accendo’s platform that you could benefit from over a protracted period.

Whilst we release a range of daily publications for short-term trade ideas, our research also includes regular Special Reports, providing further analysis of topical market themes or a quarterly publication such as our Top Stock Picks and FX outlook, as well as previews of quarterly Bank Results.

 

Whatever your approach, there are many ways in which you can benefit from being an Accendo Market client.

 

Not yet a client? Fear not, you too can sample the benefits our clients are provided through our research. Sign up to get access to the full range of Accendo research delivered daily, directly to your inbox. We hope it will be a gift that keeps on giving.


Merry Christmas!
