REVERSE SPLIT OF GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY SHARES

Dear clients,

The General Electric Company has announced an upcoming 8-to-1 reverse share split. Thus, 8 old shares will be replaced with one new one at an increased price.

General Electric Company is an American diversified corporation that produces many types of equipment, including locomotives, power plants (including nuclear reactors), gas turbines, aircraft engines, medical equipment, and others.

Analysts expect that the rise in the share's value will potentially attract large investors who are used to buying up expensive assets, but due to the current low value, they did not consider these securities to add to their portfolios. At the same time, the capitalization of the company today is over 100 billion US dollars!

From August 2, trading on the #GenElectr instrument will start at new prices.

Therefore, in an effort to exceed and improve on our current Cryptocurrency trading conditions, we are pleased to announce that we are now introducing weekend trading on these CFD instruments!

This option is available on FxPro Edge CFD, FxPro MT4 and FxPro MT5 accounts, starting from Saturday, the 31st of July.

If you do not already have an FxPro Edge CFD, MT4 or MT5 trading account, simply log into your FxPro Direct account online or through our app and select to open a new account.

IT'S TIME TO TRADE CRYPTOCURRENCIES!

Dear clients,

Recently, the large cryptocurrency exchanges FTX and Binance announced a decrease in the leverage when trading cryptocurrencies — to 1:20. High leverage allows traders to increase profits significantly, so we are not going to reduce it so that clients do not limit themselves. At FreshForex, you can trade cryptocurrencies with leverage from 1:50 to 1:100, depending on the chosen cryptocurrency.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin (BTCUSD) recently surpassed the $40 500 marks and then collapsed to $37 200. This happened after Amazon denied a rumor about Bitcoin support on its platform.

On such a move with a balance of $1 000 and leverage of 1:20, you can get $2 000 of profit. Not bad, but with our 1:100 leverage you can get 5 times more! The difference is considerable!

Remind that we have recently added new digital assets and improved the conditions for the existing ones. And Ripple has returned to our arsenal — so you can choose your favorite digital asset among many others.

In addition, by the end of August, when making a deposit with cryptocurrency, we will credit you 5% of the deposit amount. And if you have been charged a commission for an account funding, then we will refund it!
