Removal of Four FX Crosses
In January 2008 both the Maltese Lira and the Cypriot Pound will converge into the Euro. Both countries have decided to adopt the Euro as their currency. Due to this change, we will be removing the following crosses from the trading platform: MTLEUR, MTLUSD, CYPEUR and CYPUSD.
The last trading day for these crosses will be Friday November 2, 2007. We advise that all positions be closed by this date. Beginning November 5, 2007 these crosses will no longer be tradable. Any CYP or MTL position that has not been closed before trading ceases on November 2 will be closed with the market rate at that time by us.
The total number of FX crosses available on Kawase Trader will therefore be reduced to 147 from Nov 2nd.
