Last week, CMC Markets, one of the “original” and traded public brokers online, said its latest financial results for the financial year 2025.
The FNG chief – focusing on what was the real “new” – read “CMC Markets sees revenue reduction by 8% and a 24% profit reduction in 2 hours FY2025”.
Other “FX News” locations, basic parrots in the company’s rosy statements in its press release, published titles such as “CMC Markets, ending the FY25 with an annual 33%profit jump”.
CMC shares were immediately reduced by 17%.
Now, what coverage do you think the people who matter (traders, shareholders, regulators, industry trusts …) who really read? Or pay attention?
And who do you think they rejected (or, just didn’t bother to read at all) as more advertising nonsense?
Which newsletter do you think that decision -making and traders are opening and reading every day?
Some of the most read and commented news stories in the FX/CFD industry to appear in the last seven days in FNG included:
