Higher spreads

Question

Guest Anthony

Why has IG increased the spreads on the indices so much?  I appreciate there's volatility, but the increase is huge.  I'm forced to trade on my City Index account, which I don't like as much, but at least they've kept spreads at an acceptable level, about half that of IG.

The spreads have increased because the futures spreads have increased. The way we price our cash market is taking the futures and adjusting for dividends and interest. Due to uncertainty in the marker and volatility increasing we've had to adjust accordingly.

Many other brokers are offering smaller spreads right now. Thanh's sad, so i'm thinking to change to another broker... I'm not gonna say names, but IG should review his spread policy on indices to not losing clients.
