| December 20, 2007 | | Spread bets and CFDs on Japanese stock indices | Spread betting and contracts for differences on the Japanese stock market should consider that Japanese stock indices are somewhat flat. While the Nikkei stock index did gain, it was a rather small uptick. Indeed, the real story is that the only shares that did really well were bank stocks that refused to contribute to a subprime rescue fund. MarketWatch reports on Japanese stock indices:
Tokyo's 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average put in an uninspiring

Group, which rallied on reports the company has rejected requests to
participate in the U.S.-led subprime rescue fund. | | |
