LIMASSOL, Cyprus, Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Award-winning CFD broker Mitrade has engaged Christopher Brankin as Global Markets Advisor. A markets commentator featured on CNBC, Bloomberg, and Reuters, Brankin was the founding CEO of TD Ameritrade Singapore and later headed regional expansion for a CFD brokerage.
The appointment comes as global events continue driving European market conditions. In September alone, the ECB raised rates citing the Middle East supply disruptions, the euro fell 0.5% after the Fed followed suit, and Europe’s gas benchmark held above twice pre-war levels as Hormuz LNG flows slumped.
Having worked both the trading floor and the helm of major brokerages, Brankin brings over three decades of market experience. Starting in Chicago’s open-outcry futures pits in 1995, he ran a proprietary trading desk and oversaw execution and clearing at thinkorswim before building and leading regulated firms across Asia, navigating cycles from the 2008 financial crisis to 2020 market volatility.
“2026 has put European traders through a war-driven energy shock and back-to-back rate rises. Europe now imports its volatility, and traders who understand its source see the market differently. Mitrade shares my belief in financial literacy, and I look forward to adding my perspective through the platforms I have,” said Christopher Brankin, Global Markets Advisor, Mitrade Group.
In this role, Brankin will contribute institutional analysis, market commentaries, and educational insights on global market developments for Mitrade.
