FXCM's shares rise 6% on the first day

FXCM's shares were only admitted to trading today but were already successful with traders - FXCM's stock rose over 6% to $14.84 from the initial IPO price of $14 in a turnover of some $100 million giving a market cap over $1.1 billion. The price rise on a first, post-IPO, day is however not uncommon. I believe we'll see the price increase and more turnover in this stock over time as it is for now the only public retail Forex broker - and this attracts much interest.
