US 100 and NAS100 are both financial instruments that track the performance of the Nasdaq 100 index, which is a market capitalization-weighted index of the top 100 non-financial companies listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange. The index is widely regarded as a benchmark for growth stocks, technology companies, and innovative industries.
US 100 is typically offered as a CFD or futures contract by brokers and financial institutions. A CFD is a financial derivative that allows traders to speculate on the price movements of an underlying asset without actually owning the asset. In the case of US 100, traders can buy or sell CFDs based on the Nasdaq 100 index. This allows them to profit from the movements in the index without having to buy the individual stocks that make up the index.
The US 100 CFD or futures contract allows traders to take long or short positions on the Nasdaq 100 index. A long position is taken when a trader expects the index to rise, while a short position is taken when a trader expects the index to fall. Traders can use leverage to increase their exposure to the index, which can amplify their profits or losses.
