Here are payments options : More details here. I hope that this information helps ! All the best - Arvin

‘We remain positive on stocks with iron-ore exposure due to strong cash flow yields and earnings upgrade momentum.’ Source: Bloomberg Iron ore price run reverses Iron ore prices were the hot story of 2021. Well, the first half of it, at least. In the last few months the all important commodity has cratered. In May, the commodity peaked at US$233 per tonne. This feat likely left iron ore bulls salivating and those trading in and out of commodity linked stocks – the likes of Fortescue Metals Group, BHP Group and Rio Tinto – more optimistic than ever. Indeed those companies – the big three miners, that is – have essentially been printing cash and paying said cash out to investors at a rapid click. Fortescue Metals Group, trading under the ticker FMG, illustrates that point most clearly with its recent full-year results. Here FMG a significant bump in revenue and earnings, driven by drastically higher iron ore prices. Overall, the miner's average revenue increased 72% to come in at US$135 per tonne across fiscal 2021, while recording a staggering 73% earnings (EBITDA) margin. The miner didn't leave investors wanting either, declaring a final dividend of AUD$2.11 per share, taking full-year dividends to AUD$3.58 per share or AUD$11 billion. The outlook appears less certain right now, with iron ore prices last sitting around the US$133 per tonne mark, some 42% off the peak recorded in May. That will have a flow on effect, to be sure and the market knows it. The FMG share price is down 19% in the last month, as investors increasingly focus on the downside risk. Click here to read our beginners’ guide to fundamental analysis. A bullish view Yet Macquarie – long an iron ore bull – remains optimistic, in a recent note declaring that the ‘key indicators remain positive’. As the bank’s analysts stressed: Major iron ore miners continue to generate solid free cash flow at spot prices despite recent market volatility amid steel production cuts.’ More broadly, it was noted that ‘We remain positive on stocks with iron-ore exposure due to strong cash flow yields and earnings upgrade momentum.’ Rio Tinto – which Macquarie has an Outperform rating on an $153 price target is the investment bank’s preferred iron ore large cap. That's not to say the investment bank negatively views FMG or BHP: both have Outperform ratings assigned to them and price targets of $25.00 and $54.00, respectively, implying the expectation of further upside from current price levels.

Hi @Talwar, 1. At the moment the only stock option you will find on the platform is Tesla. You can trade our full range of share options – offering stocks from the world’s major exchanges – by phone on +971 (0) 4 559 2104. More details here. 2. We will close positions if you are Margin Call There are typically four scenarios in which your positions will get automatically closed. However, we can’t always apply this protection and you shouldn’t rely on us doing so. - If your equity drops beneath 50% of your margin requirement ( Equity = Total capital you have deposited +/- P/L) - If you remain on margin call constantly for 24 hours - If you are on margin call during periods of increased volatility, or periods when we anticipate increased volatility - If you are on margin call going into the weekend. We’ll try to avoid having any accounts on margin call going into the weekend. So if your equity is below 100% of your margin requirement, your positions will be at an increased risk of being closed on a Friday evening. I invite you to read trough this help page for further details here. I hope that it helps ! All the best - Arvin

On Wednesday, Macquarie told the market that 'We currently expect the 1H22 result to be slightly down on 2H21.’ Source: Bloomberg Shares Macquarie Group Price Stock CFD Citigroup Second-Half Guidance On Wednesday, September 8, diversified financial heavyweight Macquarie (ASX: MGQ) provided an update on its first-half (H1 FY22) performance outlook. Language is a funny thing, and context, ever important in financial markets. On that front, Macquarie bluntly told the market that as it stands: 'We currently expect the 1H22 result to be slighlty down on 2H21.’ This was driven by a ‘disposition fee’ Macquarie incurred, while it was also noted that: 'Favourable market conditions contributing to a stronger 1H22 Commodities and Global Markets result than anticipated together with the sale of the UK commercial and industrial smart meter portfolio.' The stock rallied hard on news that the first half results (FY22) would be slighlty down from the second half results (FY21), with the Macquarie Group share price up 5.83% over the last 5 sessions. This is a result of two things. One, the second half results were already impressive, with the company reporting: A second-half net profit of AUD$2,030 million, up 106% on a half-on-half basis. For the full-year (FY21), Macquarie reported total net profits of AUD$3,015 million, up 10% year-on-year A final dividend of AUD$3.55 per share. Click here to read our beginners’ guide to fundamental analysis. Two, while the expectation is for a ‘slighlty down’ H1, that, according to Morgan Stanley analysts at least, would still be significantly ahead of consensus. ‘MQG 1H22 guidance is well ahead of what we and consensus were looking for, implying upside pressure on FY22E outlook.’ Morgan Stanley analysts ball-parked this H1 figure at around AUD$1.9 billion, or some 25% ahead of consensus. The investment bank has an Overweight rating and $175.00 price target on MGQ. By comparison, Citi analysts, who have a Sell rating and $153.00 price target on the stock, were not inclined to change their longer-term view, though described the result as ‘another strong quarter’. Their price target was lifted from $140.00 per share as a result of a lower discount rate, though. ‘Consensus upgrades are driving the stock, but we would be surprised to see them extend beyond FY22 and challenges to earnings momentum persist in FY23,’ Citi analysts said. Despite these positive responses, Macquarie’s management team struck a conservative tone, saying: 'We continue to maintain a cautious stance, with a conservative approach to capital, funding and liquidity that positions us well to respond to the current environment.’ Macquarie Group share price performance Year-to-date the Macquarie Group share price has rallied firmly, gaining ~26% to last trade at $176.77 per share. That's a comparably good performance, with the ASX 200 benchmark in that same period rising just 10.87%. Do you have a view on Macquarie?

Airline stocks are on the rise after months of downside. With air traffic expected to benefit from strong vaccination rates, could this represent a good buying opportunity? Source: Bloomberg Shares Airline Air traffic control Europe United Kingdom EasyJet UK listed airlines in focus as vaccinations lessen restrictions Airlines are on the rise today, following a period of weakness that has seen the sector on the back foot in recent months. However, with much of the sector still well below its pre-crisis levels, it is worthwhile considering whether we are due another push higher before long. Firstly, let's look at vaccination levels in some of the main tourist hotspots in Europe. Notably, it is Greece that is lagging behind some of the other dominant tourist destinations, while the wider European average is also lower to reflect weaker protection in some of lesser visited nations. Nonetheless, with many of the top nations enjoying a high level of coverage, the continent does have a strong base of protection that should help stave off any further lockdowns or classification as high risk regions. Source: Our World in Data Notably, we have seen cases rise sharply in the UK despite strong vaccination protection, although deaths remain low which should hold off any fresh domestic restrictions. For now, the fact that cases in the UK are well above some of these other key nations should help ensure that the government refrains from implementing tighter regulations on travelling throughout much of Europe. Source: Our World in Data European-focused airlines appear more predictable While risks remain over cross-continental travel, the level of vaccinations throughout Europe should ensure that airlines enjoy increased business for the months ahead. Interestingly, the chart below highlights how the UK does appear to be lagging behind some of the major European travel hubs. However, as a whole we are seeing many nations close in on their pre-pandemic levels. Notably, Greece is the one nation that has more international arrivals and departures than in 2019. That gap between the UK and European travel could be a reason to see value in UK-focused stocks, but could also highlight a reason for outperformance in stocks such as Wizz Air. Source: Eurocontrol Wizz air and easyJet lead the way Looking at the price action over this crisis, we can see that the two outperformers come in the form of Wizz Air and easyJet. Concerns over global travel figures and the lack of business demand does provide some grounds for pessimism over the likes of IAG, which is reflected in its lackluster recovery. However, there is a strong chance we will see the likes of Ryanair, Jet2, and TUI will start to regain ground as air traffic picks up in the months ahead.

Hi @Qwerty59, Unfortunately you can't buy a fractional share in the underlying market, so we wouldn't be able to offer that on a share dealing account or ISA For the ETF you can try to purchase them on your account, if the rejection tax wrapper comes up, it would mean that it is unavailable for ISA accounts.
