GFT Global Markets London Office Now Open to Offer Spread Betting, Contract for Differences and Spot Forex Trading Services

LONDON, July 31, 2006 - GFT Global Markets UK Ltd., the London–based subsidiary of the leading U.S. firm, Global Futures & Forex, Ltd., is now open to provide spread betting, CFD and spot forex trading services to active traders, hedge funds and institutions in Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

GFT Global Markets kicked off its launch with an open house at its Canary Wharf headquarters, located on the 34th floor of the Citibank Building. GFT Global Markets’ management team provided financial services executives, customers and journalists with tours of the dealing facility and software demonstrations.

GFT Global Markets provides customers with instant access to the financial derivatives and spot forex markets through its user-friendly software, DealBook® 360, which provides a variety of tools and customisation options for novice or professional traders. The software can be downloaded for free at www.gftuk.com, and the website also provides helpful information and resources for traders.

GFT Global Markets offers more than 1,000 financial instruments as CFDs or spread bets, including individual equities, stock indices, commodities, bonds, interest rates and foreign currencies. More than 60 foreign currency pairs are available as CFDs, spread bets or spot forex — providing more choices than what is provided by competitive dealing brokers.

The company’s legacy as a leading currency trading company in the United States has helped facilitate its dealings with major money center banks of the world to provide competitive pricing and a wide range of product offerings.

Many services are offered free of charge through GFT Global Markets, including customisable trading software with integrated charting and technical analysis tools, as well as free real–time news and analysis and online account management tools.

GFT Global Markets is related to the leading U.S. forex dealing firm, Global Forex Trading (GFT). It is the venture of Gary L. Tilkin, a reputable global commodities and financial services entrepreneur, and the founder and CEO of GFT. GFT is well–known in the forex trading industry, and has provided dealing services and software to global customers for nearly ten years.
