Trading US stocks in Australia


tb0033

Question

I had a couple of questions that I would love to have information on. Firstly, I own some US stocks already on IG but I didn't really understand the fees involved in that process. Including fees to do with the change of currency involved. I am seeking clarifications what they are on this platform. Also if I own US stocks and sell them do they immediately change the US money back to the Australian dollar? Im looking at buying another US stock and don't really want to have to exchange the currencies twice especially if there are fees involved. Any help would be must appreciated.

Hi @tb0033

You are charged in one of two ways. 

If your account is on instant currency conversion:

Commission on US stocks, Free

FX conversion fee, 0.7% spread on exchange rate at time of execution

 

If your account is on manual conversion (Multi-currency account):

Commission on US stocks, 2 cents per share with a minimum $10 charge

This information is available from the following link:

All the best, 

Anda

    • Summary: Still expecting another low for indices, the current move up part of a corrective rally. Normally I look for indices lead from stocks, however some stocks are displaying strength and some weakness so this mix bag is showing up in the Nasdaq 100 pattern as a probable wave four triangle at the current low.

    • A lot of transformation is happening to BNB at the moment with the integration of bitcoin lightning network and Optimism especially with opBNB birth but that has not reflected in users confidence primarily because of the many negativities surrounding the platforms operations in North America and Australia. BGB on the other is gaining traction and value because a lot of investment is going into the development of the ecosystem recently with the injection of $100M and also improved partnership deals
    • I know we still have a lot to do to attract massive crypto adoption but steps like those taken by Binance and bitget in the wake of what happened to FTX is commendable in righting the wrongs of the lapses and loopholes that exist pre-FTX saga. But more still needs to be done to restore confidence to the level it was pre-2020 bear market like consistent regulatory framework and regular security updates by crypto platforms
