Hi 

I am new to my share dealing account and Im investing GBP. When I purchase "(all sessions)" shares are these always traded in USD? For example Facebook shares, are these always traded in USD regardless of the exchange they are traded on?

Im conscious that my GBP returns from my USD shares will be affected by FX rates and with GBPUSD at an all time low its probably not an ideal moment to invest in USD denominated shares. 

 

Any help or thoughts on this appreciated! Is it best to stick to LSE shares if investing in GBP?

Thanks

Tom

      #USDCAD: Important Breakout   USDCAD broke and closed below a solid horizontal demand cluster on a daily. The broken structure turned into resistance now.   Probabilities will be high to see a bearish move from that. Goals will be 1.356 / 1.346 For Additional confirmation use: the best mt4 indicators
