A couple of months after the announcement from CMC Markets that it is opening an office in Shanghai, we can now confirm that the event is part of a broader regional push. At the time we reported that the London-headquartered brokerage hired Biyi Cheng will lead the effort. A company representative confirmed to Finance Magnates that the company is starting a broader push into the region.

In a recent LinkedIn post, the Institutional Business Development Manager of CMC Markets in Sydney, Andrew Wood, wrote: “Demand for FX and CFD products in the Asia Pacific region continues to grow apace with an ever-increasing number of local providers either setting up for the first time or looking at how to they can enhance their current offerings.”
