CFTC releases Q2 2011 financial data - overall retail forex deposits are $9 million lower
CFTC requires all its members to submit their own capital reports and for members (RFEDs and FCMs) the amount of retail forex obligations. For some reason this report wasn't made public since April and now CFTC made available the monthly reports for May, June and July. This allows us to track the amount of retail forex obligations for all US retail forex brokers.

Update: FXCM published a statement which explains why this happened - basically FXCM was caught between CFTC's and FSA's rules whereas CFTC required FXCM to shut down US accounts, FSA required FXCM to provide sufficient notice.

US Forex brokers profitability report for Q2 2011
All brokers (except Tradestation) have updated their profitability numbers for the second quarter 2011. What clearly stands out is the drop in profitability experienced by clients of all brokers (with the exception of Advanced Markets - but its numbers are insignificant). On average clients' profitability dropped 4% since last quarter. When talking to brokers most of them stated the same reason for this - increased volatility during the quarter.

FXDD to continue offering non leveraged spot Gold and Silver trading
Just like OANDA who announced two weeks ago that it will continue offering non leveraged spot metals trading FXDD too will continue offering this to its clients. It seems that US forex brokers are split between two options: discontinue spot metals trading at all (just like Gain did) or continue offering it on a non leveraged basis. Perhaps Gain rushed into a decision and will now reconsider given that two other US brokers (OANDA and FXDD) decided to keep offering this type of trading.

Tadawul FX will no longer accept US clients from July 8th
This is an odd announcement to say the least, after all foreign forex brokers had to stop accepting US traders since October 2010... Apparently Tadawul FX has been accepting US clients until now and will only stop doing that after July 8th. Not sure exactly why they kept accepting US clients especially given their European regulation and given that CFTC is aggressively pursuing any offshore broker accepting US traders.
