CFD and Forex broker Pepperstone has expanded its univers of traded assets to include US Stock CFDs.
It’s a smart move seeing as Forex brokers are taking an absolute battering by regulators at the moment. Plus, brokers should be looking to attract more traders for index trading and CFD stock trading to diversey their income and not be so reliant on Forex trading.
Pepperstone is offering US Stock CFD trading on its MT5 & MT4 trading platforms
Pepperstone US Stock CFDs Extra Market Hours
You can trade US Stock CFDs with Pepperstone outside normal market hours. There has always been an aftermarket for US shares, when the main exchange is closed, but it’s a bonus for traders outside the US who are trading when the American sleep. The downside, of course, is that liquidity is thinner as volume is reduced.

You also get the usual advantages of trading CFDs on US stocks by going short, as well as trading on leverage. However, the downside to those two benefits is that you lose money if the Stock CFDs go up which can be multiplied depending on what sort of leverage you have.
