S&P 500


Guest Mircea

Question

Guest Mircea

I was looking to buy into the S&P 500 index. But when I search "S&P500" in the IG platfrom I get the "US500" index. Comparing the prices I conclude that the US500 and the S&P500 are the same index. But why did IG change the name of the index? And lastly I am unable to buy or sale in this index. I get a red cross saying "data only". Please help.

S&P is actually a registered trademark, and therefore we use the term US500. 

When it comes to the 'data only' notification, that is probably because you are on a share dealing account which you can only use to trade stocks, ETFs and other equities. You would need to open a leverage account (which you can do on MyIG) to trade US500.

    • Hey everyone! 🌟 I recently came across the Bitget GoldVerse Community Campaign, and I think it's something you might want to check out, especially if you're into crypto gaming and airdrops. This campaign is exclusively for new Bitget APP users who register and download through a specified link. GoldVerse is a launch platform based on the TON ecosystem, designed to provide a fair, transparent, and secure environment for emerging projects. It's quickly becoming one of the most trusted token issuance platforms on TON, focusing on fairness, transparency, and community involvement. One of the coolest features is the GoldVersebot Mini-app on Telegram. Within just 10 days of its launch, it achieved over 1 million users! The game is super engaging—you can mine GDV coins by tapping in the Social Game, complete tasks, participate in activities, and invite friends to earn $GDV If you're looking for a fun way to earn some crypto and be part of a growing community, this might be worth your time. Plus, with the Bitget event, there are even more opportunities to earn rewards. Happy mining! ⛏️💰
