LONDON, February 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

         The UK's leading CFD and spread betting provider* launches another UK first,
with a cutting-edge plugin that integrates dealing on the financial markets with browsing

                                         the web

    IG, a world-leading CFD [http://www.igmarkets.co.uk ], spread betting and forex
provider, has launched an innovative Chrome extension that enables its clients to place
deals from almost any website.

    The IG Dealing extension identifies and lists all available markets on a webpage.
Users click a market to open a deal ticket instantly. As an example, imagine you're
reading an article about the falling price of Brent crude oil and decide you want to deal:
you could open your position within seconds straight from that page.

    IG has optimised the extension for major financial and general news sites, such as the
Financial Times, Bloomberg, Reuters, The Economist and BBC News. Users can also manually
activate the extension on any website.

    IG chief executive, Tim Howkins, commented: "We're committed to providing our clients
with the very latest technology. We help them take advantage of market opportunities
safely and securely. While we don't see this extension as a replacement for our main
dealing platform, we believe it's one of the most exciting additions to the financial
trader's toolkit in a long time."

    The IG Dealing Chrome extension is available to all IG clients. For more information,
