Which products trade best out of Austria?
The status quo. Traditional stock investing in Austria is dominated by the local ATX exchange, names like OMV and Erste Bank, and often the German exchange as well. Dating back to the Schilling era, investing in physical gold is also still a strong tradition. The younger generation is already more open to US stocks, ETFs and paper gold.
Desk Notes. Investors are often unprepared, since they work with a buy-and-hold approach and don't watch the market at all. With a well-built infrastructure on a good trading platform, purchases can be timed far better. Investors very often work with delayed exchange data in their app, so they enter the market at a disadvantage or at a poor price.
