Did you miss these 26 Degrees Pairs CFDs moves? - June Edition

What are Pairs CFDs?

Launched last year, Pairs CFDs by 26 Degrees are a completely new trading product built in-house for broker dealers, providing traders with the ability to trade any two instruments against each other as a single instrument, just like an FX pair.

Whether that be Metal vs Index, Commodity vs Commodity, Equity vs Equity, Pairs CFDs allow traders to go long in one instrument and short in another, creating a single leveraged position that is treated as a single trade. Importantly, this allows traders to easily set stop loss and take profit levels which are far more complex to set if managing two separate trades. Integration is also simplified due to the ability for Pairs CFDs to be streamed alongside all other 26 Degrees asset classes, via a unified API.

Japan 225 vs Gold (JPC/XAU): +12.14%

Japan’s stock market enjoyed a strong run, buoyed by corporate earnings that exceeded expectations and signs that inflation pressures were easing.

Gold, meanwhile, held steady but lacked the same catalyst for upside. While geopolitical risks and sticky inflation kept a floor under prices, the absence of new shocks meant safe-haven demand remained subdued compared with earlier in the year.

Nvidia vs Oracle (NVD/ORC):

After months of rapid gains, AI-related stocks came under pressure as investors questioned how quickly revenues would justify high valuations. Nvidia, one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI buildout, saw its share price ease as traders trimmed exposure to the sector’s more speculative corners. Some rotation toward quality and profitability also weighed on sentiment.

Oracle, on the other hand, delivered a solid earnings report and upbeat guidance on its cloud business. Strong demand for enterprise software and infrastructure-as-a-service solutions reassured the market about Oracle’s ability to generate steady cash flows, even in a choppier macro environment.

Tesla vs Ford Motor (TSL/FRD): -17.87%

Tesla shares retreated amid signs of softer electric-vehicle demand in China and Europe, compounded by increased regulatory scrutiny over safety and software practices. Questions around pricing power and margin pressure added to the headwinds, prompting investors to lighten positions after a strong run earlier in the year.

Ford, meanwhile, enjoyed a rally on the back of stronger-than-expected sales figures. The company benefited from robust demand for its traditional lineup and growing interest in its hybrid offerings, which gave investors’ confidence in its ability to balance legacy production with EV ambitions.

US Crude Oil vs Gold (WTC/XAU): -13.96%

Crude oil softened as OPEC+ surprised markets with another round of production hikes, raising concerns about oversupply. Combined with lingering worries over global growth, the decision prompted traders to take profits after a firm start to the year.

Gold extended its steady climb, supported by a backdrop of heightened geopolitical tensions and persistent inflation concerns. Investors looking for protection against volatility and currency weakness kept demand for the metal robust.
