Big tech
A few giants carry the index
Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta and Broadcom make up a large share of the index. A big move in one or two of them, often on results day, can carry the whole index.

AI and chips
Data-centre and chip demand
AI data-centre spending drives results at chipmakers such as Nvidia and Broadcom and at the cloud giants that buy their chips. US rules on chip exports to China can hit them directly.
Bond yields
Rates matter more for growth stocks
Much of a growth company's value rests on profits expected years ahead. Rising Treasury yields therefore tend to hit the US 100 harder than the broader market, and falling yields help it more.
Risk appetite
Bigger swings than the US 500
The Nasdaq 100 tends to rise more than the S&P 500 in rallies and fall further in sell-offs. Valuations of fast-growing companies shift more with sentiment.
When the Nasdaq 100 is most active
Nasdaq's cash session runs from 9:30 to 16:00 New York time, and volume peaks in its opening and closing auctions, the Opening and Closing Crosses. US data at 8:30 New York time often moves the index before the bell. The US 100 CFD keeps trading almost around the clock on weekdays, pausing for just one hour a day.
The Nasdaq 100 at a glance
- The US 100 price is the Nasdaq 100's level in points, each worth $1 per unit.
- One lot is 10 units, and the minimum trade of 0.1 lots is a single unit.
- The QQQ ETF tracks the same index, and members such as Apple, Nvidia, Amazon, Meta and Alphabet are listed at XBTFX as share CFDs.

Exposure-based margin
How NDXUSD leverage and margin bands work.

Understand the Nasdaq 100 CFD before opening a position.
What's the difference between the Nasdaq 100 and the Nasdaq Composite?
The Composite includes almost every Nasdaq-listed company, thousands of them, banks included, while the Nasdaq 100 holds only the 100 largest non-financial ones. Both are weighted by market value and led by the same giants, so they usually move together.
How much do I need to trade the US 100?
The minimum trade is 0.1 lots, or 1 unit. For example, at a price of about $29,110, that position is worth about $29,110, and at the first-tier leverage of 200:1 the margin is about $146. Leverage steps down as exposure grows. There's also a micro version, with a contract size of 1, for smaller trades.
Can I go short on the US 100?
Yes. You can sell the US 100 as easily as you buy it, to take a position on falling tech shares. But tech rallies can be fast, and leverage magnifies the loss on a short when the index rises.
Why does the US 100 move after the US market closes?
Most of its biggest companies, from Apple to Nvidia, report quarterly results after the 16:00 New York close. The cash market is shut by then, but the US 100 CFD keeps trading and reacts straight away.
What is NDXUSD (US 100)?
NDXUSD is XBTFX’s CFD for the Nasdaq 100, displayed as US 100 on the platform. Traders may also search for this market as NAS100 / USTEC. The Nasdaq-100 includes 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market and uses modified market-cap weighting. NDXUSD is XBTFX’s CFD symbol; NAS100 and US 100 are common search and platform labels.
Do I own the shares in the Nasdaq 100 when I trade NDXUSD?
No. NDXUSD is a leveraged index CFD, not a purchase of the benchmark or its constituent shares. It provides price exposure without shareholder ownership or voting rights.
What can move the NDXUSD price?
Nasdaq 100 trading is especially sensitive to large technology and growth-company earnings, interest-rate expectations, semiconductor demand, software and cloud spending, and changing appetite for higher-valuation equities.
How is leverage applied to NDXUSD?
US 100 uses published exposure-based margin bands. The schedule is tied to total notional exposure in NDXUSD, not the account balance. When exposure crosses a threshold, only the additional portion uses the next margin rate; lower-band exposure keeps its original rate.
Can I trade NDXUSD with Pro or Standard pricing?
Yes, subject to availability. Pro uses a raw variable spread plus USD 2.75 commission per USD 100,000 traded. Standard uses a wider all-in spread without a separate commission line.
