On December 18th, Nvidia (NVDA.O) reached a settlement with a German subsidiary of Paris-based automotive parts supplier Valeo Group, ending a lawsuit involving trade secrets related to autonomous driving technology. In 2021, a Valeo engineer joined Nvidia while the two companies were collaborating on a technology project for Mercedes-Benz. According to a lawsuit filed by Valeo in 2023, during a video conference, Valeo employees discovered Valeos source code files displayed on the engineers screen and took a screenshot before he closed the window. In earlier court filings, Nvidia denied using the stolen data to develop its own automated parking assistance technology and stated that it had "rolled back" all work the engineer had done on the project and dismissed him.Hang Seng Index futures closed down 0.57% at 25,304 points in overnight trading, a discount of 165 points.Dallas Fed Energy Survey: Oil and gas production remained largely unchanged in the fourth quarter.On December 18th, Italian Prime Minister Meloni reiterated in parliament on December 17th that Italy would not send troops to Ukraine, even if a multinational European force were formed.

what is leverage?

Simply put, leverage gives you the ability to trade beyond your account funds. With leverage, you can double your trading in a certain financial instrument without having to pay all the required funds. This means that you borrow a certain amount of money needed for the investment. So when you trade with leverage, all you pay is part of your position value.

A CFD is a form of leveraged trading. As the amount required to open and maintain a position is called "margin", leveraged trading is known as "margin trading". The term "leverage" is often used to denote that a small fluctuation in the price of a CFD can be magnified into a large change in profit and loss, with the degree of profit and loss depending on the degree of leverage used.


For example, a $1,000 balance with a 1:50 leverage ratio has a trading ability of $50,000, allowing traders to purchase financial products worth up to $50,000.
