CMC Markets Stockbroking, the Australian brokerage unit of CMC Markets, announced on Monday that it has expanded the offering on its platform. By launching International share trading and Exchange Trade Options (ETO) features on its platform, investors now have access to international markets including US, Europe, Canada, and Asia.
With the addition of the international share trading feature, investors can now trade an extra 19,000 instruments through the broker. The new instruments include Equities, International ETFs, and American depository receipts.
The broker has streamlined its offering so these can be accessed through one account. The instruments are all accessible through CMC Markets’ Pro, its standard platforms, and mobile apps. On the company’s Pro platform, the ETO feature provides strategy Analytics modules, margin calculations, and multi-leg options orders on single tickets.

Rogers believes the International shares, which will include the likes of Google, Netflix, and Amazon, will be a popular feature.
