*When placing a new trade the NTR Multiplier is calculated from the mid-point of the current price. E.g. if a share is currently trading at 199.7 – 200.3 with an NTR multiplier of ‘10% of the current price’ then the NTR Multiplier at that time will be 20 (10% of 200). Once you have an open position in a market, if that position is a buy it will be marked to the current bid price and therefore the NTR Multiplier will be calculated from the bid price. If the position is a sell it will be marked to the offer price and therefore the NTR Multiplier will be calculated from the offer price. Please note this means that NTR Multipliers will vary as the price and bid-offer spread of the market moves.

Market Description

Corn is used primarily to feed livestock, but also has other uses in food production, bio fuels and even within commercial applications such as glue. The United States produces more than 50% of the world’s total harvest as the majority of the crops in the United States are genetically modified.

To give an example of the range covered by the commodity, in November 2005 corn was trading at lows of 186 cents before rising to highs of 762.50 cents in June 2008.

When CFD trading on corn you trade per cent movement. Price movements can sometimes be volatile with up to 100 point movements per day occurring with regularity.
