Reason for this visit

Australia has a deep trading culture as well as a world-recognized regulatory environment. Currency markets are very popular in Australia. According to reports, the daily trading volume of top currency brokers in Australia is larger than the cash trading volume of Australian stocks.

Typically, forex trading is divided into three trading sessions, Asia Pacific, Europe and the United States. Australia is located in the Asia Pacific region and is the first country to start trading forex and commodities during the day. The trading volume is relatively small at first and becomes larger due to the time difference, with the addition of Japanese traders a few hours later. Europe has the largest trading volume in the global Forex market.

At the same time, Australia is a major natural resource country, rich in oil and coal, base and precious metals and grains. The physical trading of these products in the global market has led to the creation of a strong derivatives market in which both retail and institutional investors are active. Many exploration and production companies are publicly traded on the stock market, making Australian equities highly liquid and risky.

With many commodities priced in dollars, euros and yen, this has naturally led to a highly liquid currency trading environment. And the physical delivery nature of Australia's thriving export market supports both spot and forward currency markets.

Furthermore, China is one of Australia's largest trading partners. As the world's second largest economy, China brings a significant amount of Australia's natural resources into the country. China's influence as a consumer country provides a natural trading partner for investors in the currency market. The demand for resources may provide a potential exchange rate base for its currency.

In order to help investors or practitioners get a more comprehensive understanding of foreign exchange dealers in Australia, the survey team is going to the country for field visits.

On-site visit

This time the survey team visited the dealer CTIN in Australia, with the specific address at Level 5, 250 Queen Street, MELBOURNE VIC 3000.

Based on the above address, the survey team came to the destination of this survey, which was located in Queen Street. This was a busy downtown area with good surroundings. There were three large shopping malls in the area, which was considered to be a concentration of international luxury brands. Entering the building, the surveyors immediately found the name of the dealer CTIN on the directory.

The surveyors found CTIN's office on the 5th floor, with its poster hanging on the door. Due to the epidemic, they were unable to enter the company's interior and could only take a few photos at the reception desk. However, the surveyors confirmed that the office of CTIN indeed existed.

Conclusion

The survey team went to Australia to visit the dealer CTIN as planned, and the dealer's logo could be found on its publicly displayed address, indicating that the dealer has a real place of business. Unfortunately, the surveyors were not able to visit and photograph the interior of the company, so the exact scale of its operations was still unknown. Investors are advised to make their choice after comprehensive consideration.
