GFT Reduces Forex Spreads

ADA, Mich., May 5, 2008 — GFT, a worldwide leader in online forex trading, has announced that now offers even more highly competitive prices, with spreads as low as one-pip wide.

Effective today (May 5), the company has reduced spreads on many of its currency pairs, with the EUR/USD, EUR/GBP, USD/JPY and EUR/CHF quoted as low as one-pip wide.

“We’ve reduced our spreads by more than half in the pairs that are traded most often by our customers,” said Gary Tilkin, CEO and president, GFT. “With our new, extremely competitive spreads, we’ll be able to quote pairs such as the euro/dollar as low as one pip wide.”

GFT will also retain a maximum spread cap for each currency pair that it offers, providing its customers with not only lower, but also more consistent pricing.

“With more than 120 currency pairs available through all three of our DealBook® trading platforms, GFT customers have access to a wide range of choices. Our new pricing will allow us to provide not only the best software and service to our customers, but also the best value,” said Tilkin.
