Currency Magazine Launched
EIN News, and the currency trading firm Xforex have entered into an advertising agreement to provide more extensive up-to-the-minute news about currency exchange and other aspects of the world of international finance.
The recent market turmoil has triggered a substantial increase in currency trading and, at the same time, a rising need for alternative sources of breaking financial news.
According to Xforex spokesman Mark Leigh, market interest in foreign currency trading rises in times of unrest. "Most people don't give a second thought to foreign currency until markets collapse. Once that happens, everyone wants to get in on the action," Leigh said. "Though there are bound to be losses, it is actually in these shaky times when many dramatic profits are made."
The French Press Agency (AFP) reported last week that recent financial events have "people flocking to the Internet for the latest money news along with tips on how to salvage investments." EIN News' financial publications have seen a significant rise in subscriptions. EIN News portal Finance Industry Today experienced a 500% increase in traffic during the month of September. Responding to this demand, EIN News recently launched FOREX Trading News Today to fill an important gap in financial news coverage.
EIN News was established in Central Europe in 1995, and through the years has built more than 200,000 individual topic news feeds organized within 50 news sites. The company has launched the well-known "Russia Today" brand and opened internet news access to China with "Inside China Today." Offering a unique combination of human editing and proprietary scanning software, EIN News won Europe's coveted Momentum Award as the most innovative internet company on the continent. Serving thousands of customers daily, the company distributes its feeds via email or mobile news alerts, online and other channels such as Newsfeedmaker.com.

ICE Millions Added In November
ICE Futures U.S.(TM) will launch a suite of million-currency-unit foreign exchange (FX) futures contracts on November 6, 2008. The new futures contracts, known as ICE Millions and first announced on September 24, combine the benefits of futures and OTC products, bringing additional transactional efficiencies and risk management tools to the FX marketplace. ICE Millions are ten times the notional value of the existing suite of ICE FX futures and options contracts. ICE Futures U.S. also lists the U.S. Dollar Index(R) futures, which will remain the existing notional size of $1000 times the index value.\
The following contracts comprise the suite of 12 FX pairs:
Million Euro-U.S. dollar (IEO)
Million British pound - U.S. dollar (IMP)
Million U.S. dollar - Canadian dollar (ISV)
Million U.S. dollar - Japanese yen (ISN)
Million U.S. dollar - Swiss franc (IMF)
Million U.S. dollar - Swedish krona (IKX)
Million Euro - British pound (IGB)
Million Euro - Canadian dollar (IEP)
Million Euro - Japanese yen (IEJ)
Million Euro - Swedish krona (IRK)
Million Euro - Swiss franc (IRZ)
Million Aussie dollar - U.S. dollar (IAU)
Beginning November 6, ICE Millions will trade electronically on the ICE trading platform, which features the fastest trade execution times in the futures industry today. The primary benefits of the ICE Millions contracts include:
-- Centralized clearing and transaction anonymity, both of which are inherent in futures market transactions;
-- Transaction cost efficiencies compared to existing futures and OTC FX offerings;
-- Deep liquidity with at least 10 market makers;
-- Contract prices quoted using over-the-counter market convention (i.e.: the Million Euro-U.S. dollar contract will be quoted in U.S. dollars per Euro to five decimal places).
-- The rate for ICE Millions futures contracts is $1.35 per side, or per million currency unit, inclusive of exchange and clearing fees.
-- Simplicity of hedging cash market exposure with OTC-style contract design and quotation methodology for funds and proprietary traders active in the cash FX markets; and

Banking Crisis Good For ACM
When asked how the current financial crisis impacted ACM's Business, Managing Director, Nick Bang said: "The current turmoil in the financial, and mostly banking sector, generated huge volatility in the market. Most of our customers consider these moves as more profit opportunities. As a matter of fact ACM traded volume soared consistently in recent weeks."
ACM claims to be a leader in Online Currency Trading and as such is not exposed to any of the risky products which are the focus point of the crisis at the moment.
"Our clients are able to take advantage of the most effective tools and services to successfully handle the foreign exchange market, the volatile conditions give them more opportunities of trading," says Bang.
With a recent rise of its share capital to 20 millions Swiss Francs, ACM is the largest capitalised Swiss online currency broker. "For some banking actors the interdependency of capitals turned to domino's theory disaster." says Bang, "ACM's financing strategy is based on independent capital. We are simply not concerned with this crisis. Moreover, we are working with a wide panel of providers granting us almost endless liquidity," he added.
