In FX related stock news, UK retail broker CMC Markets floated in London today and saw their price trade a touch below the £2.40 offer price. Not a good week to float as the FCA sent round a letter to 100 spread betting and bookie firms warning them about their treatment of clients and the potential for fraud.
