IG Markets, Singapore’s number one CFD provider for customer service

(PRWEB) September 29, 2011

IG Markets, Singapore’s number one CFD provider for customer service, unveiled its Android trading app on September 26, 2011. The app is available free of charge from the Android market and allows IG Markets’ clients to place CFD trades on a wide range of markets, as well as view their open positions and watchlists, access real-time balance information, generate a variety of charts and much more.

Prospective traders can also access live market data, as well as an account application process tailor-made for Android handsets.

Peter McDermott, Managing Director of IG Markets in Singapore said “this latest release is another example of our trademark customer service alongside innovative technology. The Android app is an addition to our existing suite of mobile trading apps, which include iPhone, BlackBerry and Nokia apps.”

In June 2011, IG Markets was Singapore’s first CFD provider to offer an iPhone App for DMA CFDs, which allows traders to view full market depth and liquidity as well as trade within the market spread.

“Our Android app gives clients a range of mobile functions equivalent to our award-winning trading platform, PureDeal, and is available across our extensive range of CFD markets, including forex, shares, stock indices, commodities and more,” Mr McDermott said.

“It is our commitment to give our clients the best possible CFD trading tools, regardless of whether they trade from an iPhone, Android, BlackBerry or browser.”

Android devices are the fastest growing handsets in the smartphone group in Southeast Asia, marketed as the region’s ‘most affordable’ smartphone option. In 2010, the sales of Android-based handsets in these markets rose from an average of USD500,000 a month in January to almost USD2 million a month in September, an increase of 400%.

August Smashes All Records for IG Markets

IG Markets, Singapore’s number one CFD provider for customer service

(PRWEB) September 14, 2011

Singapore’s top CFD Provider for customer service, IG Markets, has seen its busiest month yet. Due to volatility across the world’s financial markets, the company saw record numbers for both transaction volumes and revenue. The month also saw a surge in new accounts being opened.

Peter McDermott, Managing Director of IG Markets in Singapore attributed the increased numbers to market volatility. “Globally, IG Group sees its clients make over 5 million transactions in a typical month. On August 9 alone we saw almost 900,000 transactions, with markets on both sides of the Atlantic moving hundreds, or even thousands of points.”

August saw concerns about the Eurozone sovereign-debt crisis rise, an increase of the US debt ceiling to USD14.3 trillion and US credit downgraded from AAA to AA+ by S&P’s. Investors turned to gold as a safe haven, pushing its price to a record USD1,913.50 an ounce, as Wall Street, the FTSE 100 and the Australia 200 traded in ranges between 750 and 2000 points.

CFDs, or contracts for difference, are a useful tool for trading in turbulent times, as traders can go short across a range of CFD markets, including forex, shares, commodities, stocks indices and more. Traders can also take advantage of large price movements by using options spreads and binaries.

Mr McDermott was pleased with how IG Markets performed under these extreme conditions, commenting that “our team quickly responded to changing market conditions, maintaining our trademark excellence in client service. Our online trading platform, PureDeal, also performed very well under the increase in trading volume.”
