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.
