Trade Binary Options: our hottest asset picks

Anyoption now has over 50 underlying assets on which you can trade binary options. All of them have great investment potential and the expiry dates and return levels are endless. However, according to feedback, research and some statistics we have selected five underlying assets that we deem our current hottest picks.

Here they are:

EUR/USD Pair: The abbreviation for the Euro and US Dollar pair of currencies. It tells the trader how many US Dollars are needed to purchase 1 Euro. As two of the largest reserve currencies and the most traded currencies in the world, the Euro and the US dollar are good choices for those who want to trade binary options.

Anyoption offers investors the possibility to trade binary options on foreign exchange pairs like the EUR/USD without having to use super high capital amounts and still get the same high yield returns as any other trading method. Traders can invest in the EUR/USD for as little at $100 to start.

Oil Commodity: Oil is a highly volatile, yet exciting commodity on which to trade binary options. One of the first types of energy to be widely traded on regulated commodity exchanges, oil is bought and sold in standard contracts. What makes trading on oil so compelling are the many factors that affect the price, including politics, weather, transport costs, technology, taxes, inflation and money supply. So when you trade binary options on oil, you need to make more complex decisions. However, there are more opportunities for profits in return. It can be very lucrative if you follow the news and political events that impact the volatility of prices.

We suggest you sign up for email alerts on the oil industry and trade binary options when you foresee a chance to benefit from a price swing. At Anyoption you can trade binary options on the price of a barrel of Light Crude Oil on the NYMEX future exchange.

Nasdaq Composite Index: This is an index of all the common stocks and similar securities listed on the Nasdaq stock market. A hot-spot for many who trade binary options, with over 3,000 components, it is considered a major performance measurer in the United States of technology company stocks and growth companies. It is one of the largest indices and contains both US and non-US listed companies.

IBEX 35 Index: This is the benchmark stock market index for the Bolsa de Madrid Exchange in Spain, comprising of the most 35 liquid stocks in Madrid. Initiated in 1992, it includes companies such as Iberia Airlines, BBVA (global financial group), Telefonica (one of the largest telecommunications companies in the world) and Banco Popular (the third largest bank in Spain). Since the millennium, the IBEX 35 Index has outperformed many of its Western peers, driven by strong domestic growth making it a worthy choice for many choosing to trade binary options.

Gold Commodity: Gold is nowadays seen as a valuable commodity and ranks high in the leading tradable commodity indices, making it a popular choice in which to trade binary options. Gold has been valued as a global currency for thousands of years. It took a back-seat during the 1980’s and 1990’s when investors saw it as a last resort asset. Now, back with a boom, gold is seen as a sustained investment when choosing to trade binary options.

The demand of gold jewellery alone absorbs around 75% of the gold supplied to the market each year. With industrial applications accounting for only about 10% of demand each year these attractive supply and demand dynamics offer gold as a high yield investment for those choosing to trade binary options. Even so, it is still advisable to keep up-to-date with movements in the gold industry which you could do by signing up for an online newsletter. At Anyoption you can trade on the price of an ounce of gold at the future exchange COMEX.
