LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–FXCM Group, LLC (“FXCM Group’ or ‘FXCM’), the leading international provider of online foreign exchange trading, CFD trading, cryptocurrencies and related services, is today releasing its data of most popular instruments for the month of August in its Single Share CFD and proprietary Stock Basket product lines.

FXCM offers fractional single share trading with no commission fees* on leading companies from the US, UK, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Hong Kong and Australia.

The list of companies and weightings is available on FXCM’s stock basket website (https://www.fxcm.com/markets/stock-baskets/)

Recession, the Fed and the price of oil and gas were the main talking points for global stock markets throughout August as FXCM traders tried to navigate the volatile markets. Electric vehicles (EV) maker Tesla remained the most traded single share followed by tech giant Apple. Two more EV companies made it in the top 10 – Chinese based Nio Inc, climbed to the third spot, while Xpeng, jumped an impressive 20 spots to land at sixth. Chinese stocks Tencent and Alibaba also made it into the top 10 via their HK listings, as well as e-commerce platform Pinduoduo. Only a month after being introduced on FXCM platforms, fintech company Affirm Holdings rounded out the top 10 after catching the eye of traders.

No major shifts on the stock basket side. FAANG and Crypto Stocks remain the most highly traded baskets, while China Ecommerce and Work from Home both climbed a spot, pushing down China Tech by two places. A noticeable returnee to the top 10 is the Cannabis basket, while the Esports & Gaming and Airlines baskets complete the top 10, holding on to their spots from the previous month.

Past Performance and popularity is not an indicator of future results.
