Ada, Mich., July 8, 2008 — GFT — worldwide leaders in online trading — today expanded the markets available to forex traders using the company’s DealBook® suite of trading platforms by adding Middle East currencies paired with the U.S. dollar.

The new pairs are the U.S. dollar/United Arab Emirates dirham (USD/AED), U.S. dollar/Kuwait dinar (USD/KWD) and U.S. dollar/Saudi Arabia riyal (USD/SAR). All available currency pairs can be easily sorted, followed and traded with GFT’s award-winning DealBook® 360 desktop trading software, along with the company’s web-based platform, DealBook® WEB and their platform for mobile devices, DealBook® Mobile.

Kurt Hoeksema, vice president of dealing and risk management, GFT, said that the company is excited to open up this area of the world to its customers. “We’re constantly seeking out new opportunities for our customers, and the Middle East is one of the world’s most dynamic regions,” he said. “GFT is committed to offering a wide range of forex choices and the ability to trade the new currency pairs gives our customers even more ways to seek opportunities in the markets.”

He added that the new pairs also benefit customers in the Middle East by offering them the convenience and comfort of trading with currencies with which they may be more familiar. “Local currencies offer customers the advantage of trading with instruments they understand, in terms of regional news that can affect exchange rates,” he said.

Including the new Middle East pairs, the following currencies are currently offered by GFT, ranging from the majors to the Hungarian forint to the South African rand:
