Hi @Anees Thank you for reaching out. Could you please provide more clarity to your query. From the screenshot you provided, it seems like P&L Total and your account total show the same value in USD. The spot gold contract you are trading is denominated in AUD so this is then converted to USD as your account base currency is USD. All the best, OfentseIG

Asian stock markets rose again on Friday, but the bullishness was held in check by the presence of the monthly US non-farms figure on the schedule for the day. The private-sector ADP report yesterday pointed to sharp gains in employment, and if the payrolls report follows suit then this could cause further short-term strength in the US dollar and even some potential changes in market expectations for Fed action this year. Stock markets remain optimistic that China's reopening will provide good news further down the line, and even Samsung was able to move up despite announcing a fall in profits of over two-thirds for Q4 as demand dried up. Such news should be considered crucial as we move towards US earnings season, which begins next week. Aside from payrolls data, we have the UK construction PMI, eurozone CPI, Canadian employment figures and the US ISM non-manufacturing PMI on the calendar for today.

Hi @Farmer2 Thanks for reaching out. US ETFs are still not available for retail clients. We would also like to draw your attention to the Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (the PRIIPs) regulation states that all retail clients must be provided with a Key Information Document (KID) prior to the purchase on any security (PRIIP) within the scope of the regulation. This regulation would prevent you from buying any US or foreign denominated ETF. As this ETF is listed on the NYSE exchange, you would not be able to purchase it with IG. This regulation covers (inter alia): • Foreign Exchange (FX) Transactions • Over The Counter Derivatives • Exchange Traded Derivatives (including ETFs , ETCs & ETNs) A KID must be provided to all European retail clients. UK retail clients remain subject to these rules at this time. All the best, OfentseIG

Investors shrugged off a hawkish set of Fed minutes last night, having come to terms with the idea that one or two more hikes this year will mark the end of the tightening process, to be followed in 2024 by a wave of cuts. Asian stocks have had yet another good session, continuing the theme of ex-US indices making progress in 2023, and while the Caixin services PMI remained in contraction territory, it did rise by more than expected. While Covid infections continue to surge, markets appear willing to play a long game here, withstanding the rise in infections in expectation that these will subside as winter turns to spring. Today marks the beginning of a focus on the US employment picture, with initial claims and the ADP report, before tomorrow's big NFP number.
