Alpari introduces a no commission incentive for US Dukascopy clients
- It seems that Alpari isn't wasting time trying to monetize its fresh partnership with Dukascopy. Alpari has a good reason too - it is not the only US broker to partner Dukascopy - FXDD was the first one. It is a two horse race against the time - who will get the most US Dukascopy's clients and Alpari therefore just announced a no commission offer for month and a half for Dukascopy's clients moving their accounts over to it.

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.
