Daman Markets launches UAE stock trading with Dirham-based accounts
Bringing local market access and global trading tools to the UAE's booming capital landscape , the premium forex and CFD trading service from Daman Securities, has officially launched access to UAE-listed stocks on the Dubai Financial Market (DFM) and Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX). This new feature provides regional traders with access to large, significant Emirati companies such as Emaar, ADNOC, Emirates NBD, Salik, and more. By introducing UAE stocks, Daman Markets becomes one of the few brokers that enables traders to experience global trading while addressing the specific needs of regional traders. Their newest CFD (Contracts for Difference) offering on some of the bookrunners of the UAE allows traders to diversify their portfolios and benefit from the rapid growth of the local market. A key feature of the launch is the introduction of Dirham-based accounts. This allows traders to participate in local markets using the UAE's national currency with zero conversion fees. Operating in the UAE's national currency ultimately enables regional traders to simplify the complexities involved in converting local transactions or assets into items that hold alternative currencies for foreign exchange purposes. Samer Mourched, CEO of Daman Markets, emphasized the significance of the launch. "This launch is about more than simply starting in new markets; it's about opening our doors for traders to opportunities in their background," he said. "As a global broker with roots in the UAE, our goal is to provide traders with access to local markets in their currency, backed by teams deeply immersed in the region. We want to empower traders to trade smarter, closer to home, and with the confidence they deserve." The introduction of UAE stock trading is taking place during a period of rapid growth and global prominence for the UAE's capital markets. With record IPOs and a greater range of international and local investors, the DFM and ADX have become the main drivers of the UAE's regional economy. However, access to these markets is limited, as primarily retail-run traders are looking for localized and competitive trading solutions. Daman Markets provides localised solutions to stock trading, providing a platform that meets regional expectations while maintaining a global trading experience. The company is unique in its approach with dirham-based accounts and local compliance regulation, partnered with support teams that are fluent in the jurisdiction policies and the specific attitudes of the UAE market. This localisation-first approach allows Daman Markets to offer an unparalleled level of service and expertise to the GCC trading community. Daman Markets has been steadily growing since it first launched, with a promise to create a trusted platform for trading tools, educational opportunities, and a simplified trading interface for users. The introduction of UAE stocks is another significant advancement on the path toward building a trading platform that connects regional traders with the country's growing economy. Daman Markets is committed to providing unparalleled value to the regional trading community with an entire suite of innovative trading tools, reliable support, and a trading platform incorporating local knowledge.

CFD Companies' Support of Social Media Marketing Validated by Adviser Appearance at Jolt! Conference
KOKOMO, Ind., July 15, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — CFD Companies' efforts to support adviser marketing were validated recently when CFD affiliated financial adviser Rachael Camp was a featured panelist at the 2025 Jolt! Conference. Social media marketing remains prohibited at many financial services firms, but CFD has calculated that the extra regulatory burdens are a part of providing exceptional service to CFD affiliated financial professionals. 'There is significant effort by the home office to maintain an environment where our financial professionals can leverage modern marketing without stepping out of line. It's not easy, but we never want to be a reason why our advisers and professionals struggle to grow their business,' said Brent Owens, President of CFD Companies. The Jolt! Conference is a three-day event hosted by marketing firm Snappy Kraken. As a featured panelist, Ms. Camp shared her experiences using digital tools to foster connections and business growth. The success she has achieved in just three to four years on the platform X (formerly Twitter) is remarkable. Reflecting on her relationship with CFD, Ms. Camp said, 'The encouraging thing to me is that it's clear that CFD wants to be a partner in my growth, both professionally and personally. I'm sure I could ask for things where the answer might be 'no,' but my experience has generally been, 'Well that's interesting, let's look at the regulation and figure this out.'' Camp will also be taking the main stage at CFD Companies' annual fall conference this September. The conference is expected to draw over 250 financial advisers who wish to foster growth and innovation. It is also open to non-CFD advisors who are serious about practice growth. It will take place in CFD's home office auditorium. There is no charge for financial advisers to attend, but space is limited. About CFD Companies CFD Companies is home to a fully independent Broker/Dealer and RIA that believes individuals are best served by a financial professional who possesses the freedom to implement personalized planning and investment strategies. The CFD Companies operate on the premise that an adviser's Broker/Dealer and RIA should act as a partner and resource network, empowering adviser-client relationships through trust, innovative support and a shared commitment to mutual growth.

Firefighters association flags concern over apparatus shortage
Article content 'Clearly, we don't have enough fire apparatus to adequately protect Calgarians,' he said. 'Seconds matter in an emergency and without the proper equipment, our firefighters are stretched dangerously thin. Article content 'With a municipal election around the corner, we need local leaders to recognize public safety needs to be a priority.' Article content Ward 3 Coun. Jasmine Mian said the current council has increased the CFD budget substantially since being elected in 2021, thanks to firefighters' previous advocacy for more resources before and after that election. Article content She pointed to council approving a $76-million increase to CFD's capital budget and $63 million more for the department's operating budget for the 2023-26 four-year budget. Article content Article content This spending allowed CFD to hire 200 additional firefighters and to add two medical response units, she said, as well as two temporary fire halls on the city's outskirts — one in Haskayne and one in Hotchkiss. Article content Less than two weeks ago, CFD and city officials cut the ribbon on a new $53-million fire station in Varsity, which also features affordable housing and a future space for a child-care facility. Article content But Mian, who is not running for re-election this year, noted that Calgary's growth since 2021 means more funding for the fire department will likely be necessary when the next council considers the 2027-30 budget cycle. Article content 'We recognize that as a growing city, we need to continue to fund the fire department well,' she said Monday. Article content Article content Mian also argued that fire response times in her ward were 17 seconds faster than the city average in 2024. She cited an annual report that of more than 2,500 priority responses in Ward 3 last year, 87 per cent met the response time target of seven minutes. Article content 'We've had really good firefighting service for the types of incidents we have had,' she said. 'I appreciate what (the firefighters' association is) saying, but I would assure people that we do have good coverage. Article content 'That said, as we continue to build out north of Stoney . . . we're going to have to keep investing.' Article content A statement from the fire department Monday said the tower truck for Station 31 experienced 'unexpected mechanical issues' that required it to temporarily be removed from service. The truck has been returned to the station 'with no impacts' to public safety. Article content 'The Calgary Fire Department's fleet of fire trucks and other apparatus is dynamically deployed across the city,' it said. 'Trucks move about depending on what is required to ensure fire response coverage and are sometimes subject to maintenance requirements.'
