Update: Dukascopy Trading Platform Recovers, Website Remains Offline

Swiss Dukascopy Bank servers appear to be offline as the outage affects the real and demo platforms as well as the company's website. There is no official information about the reasons for the outage yet, but multiple sources close to Finance Magnates are confirming that they have no access to their trading accounts.

With Janet Yellen speaking in about 10 minutes, the timing of this outage is quite unfortunate for traders with open positions during a rather volatile day for the currency markets.
