GAIN Capital's FOREX.com Introduces Lower Pricing
NEW YORK, LONDON and SYDNEY, June 14 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
Reduced spreads and enhanced price transparency
GAIN Capital Holdings, Inc., a global provider of online trading
services, today announced a new pricing structure for its FOREX.com brand,
reducing spreads by up to 50 percent on previous minimum spreads. FOREX.com's
global customers will now be able to trade on spreads as low as 0.9 pips on
some of the most popular currency pairs, including EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and
USD/JPY.
The company's new pricing has been designed to offer maximum transparency
to customers. In addition to publishing minimum spreads for each product,
FOREX.com will publish its "typical spread" and has also implemented a
"maximum spread" for each product, intended to protect traders from
excessively wide spreads in most volatile market conditions.
"We are always looking for ways to improve our customer service. Our long
standing relationships with some of the world's leading global banks, coupled
with significant technology investments over the past several years, enable
us to offer highly competitive pricing to our customers worldwide," said
Glenn Stevens, CEO, GAIN Capital. "On top of lowering our customer's
transaction costs, we will continue to work hard to ensure we maintain the
high execution standards our customers have come to expect."
