CNBC is airing a new show, solely dedicated to forex trading. The new show, starting on February 25th, will be sponsored by US forex broker FXCM, that puts its foot in the mainstream media.
The show on Friday’s will likely summarize the week, as it’s aired in the US afternoon. But Money in Motion will also bring short updates during other times. The show on currency trading will be available on various regional outlets of CNBC. This will sure help forex trading push to the mainstream, and positions FXCM quite well.
