OANDA Asia Pacific adds CFDs to its trading platform
A low-cost, flexible way to trade global stock market indices like the Nikkei, Hang Seng, Dow Jones, DAX, and FTSE; oil, wheat, natural gas and other commodities in demand and Treasury bonds
SINGAPORE, June 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ –OANDA, a global provider of innovative foreign exchange trading services, announced it has added fixed income contracts for difference (CFDs) to its award-winning trading platform. Retail investors in Singapore and across the Asia Pacific region can now buy and sell foreign stock market indices, commodities, and Treasury bonds in addition to trading foreign exchange (forex) and precious metals from a single account.
According to Courtney Gibson, Vice President of Trading at OANDA, these new products allow OANDA’s clients to expand their investment portfolios to include a variety of the world’s key stock indices, commodities, and bond markets. Clients can trade at lower transaction costs than paying to trade physical shares, commission-free, and with the benefit of real-time transparent pricing for which OANDA is renowned.
“Asia Pacific is a strategic region for OANDA. By adding CFDs to our trading platform, we are continuing to respond to client demand to trade these assets in the same flexible way that they trade forex: no minimum trade sizes, commission-free, and without the need to tie up a large amount of capital,” Gibson said. “Investors who trade CFDs with OANDA to speculate, hedge exposure in the underlying asset, and diversify their portfolios, can also take advantage of our free risk management tools, exceptional execution, and 24/5 global market access with a broker that’s known for transparency, fairness, and an exemplary regulatory track record.”
“Serving the needs of the local investment community across the Asia Pacific region is a top priority,” said Rajesh Yohannan, Managing Director and CEO for OANDA Asia Pacific. “As APAC investors are demanding access to foreign markets and commodities in demand worldwide, CFDs have become increasingly popular with retail traders, and OANDA Asia Pacific’s customers have voiced their desire to invest in these versatile instruments.”
A CFD is an over-the-counter, leveraged derivative instrument whose price is based on an underlying asset. Neither the trader nor the authorized, regulated dealer owns the financial asset; they only own the speculation contract.
The CFDs available on OANDA’s platform includes several leading international stock market indices such as the Nikkei 225, S&P 500, Germany’s DAX 30, the Hang Seng, and the Russell 2000 Index; U.K. 10-year Gilt, 10-year German Bund, and two-year, five-year, and 10-year U.S. Treasury notes; and commodities including Brent crude oil, natural gas, wheat, and corn.

“Apple 1 Computer” at Auction
COLOGNE, Germany, April 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ —
From “Pascal” to “Apple”:
350 years of computer history under the hammer.
Last November Auction Team Breker of Cologne, Germany, made international news for selling an original 1976 Apple I computer for the world record price of U.S.$ 640,000 (Euro 492,000). – On 25 May 2013 collectors and Apple-aficionados will have the chance to buy another of the 6 surviving Apple I computers still in working order (estimate: Euro 200.000 – 300.000 / US$ 260,000 – 400,000).
….read more (http://www.Breker.com/ReadMore)
This is truly an auction of “firsts”: the world’s first “Intel 4004” microprocessor in a 1971 “Busicom-141PF” (Euro 8.000 – 12.000 / US$ 10,000 – 15,000) and the first major Personal Computer, the “Altair 8800”, which kick-started the PC revolution from the cover of Popular Electronics magazine in 1975 (Euro 3.000 – 5.000 / US$ 4,000 – 7,000).
Three hundred years before the birth of Steve Jobs & “WOZ”, French physicist and philosopher, Blaise Pascal, was designing the first commercial mechanical calculator. The “Pascaline” of 1652 could add and subtract two numbers together; multiplication and division relied on the 9’s complements principal still used in computers today!! Because of its importance to mathematics, 9 machines still in existence are all in museum archives. The 10th is being offered here at auction (Euro 100.000 – 200.000 / US$ 130,000 – 260,000).
In the late 18th century, poor roads and coach travel led English inventor James Watt to build his portable copying press: the first multiple-copying machine and the first patented instrument too (Euro 3.000 – 5.000 / US$ 4,000 – 7,000)!
A century later, and on the other side of the British Channel, mechanical life was being designed to amuse and be admired. Luxury Parisian toy makers of La Belle Epoque combined music, mechanics and magic in the creation of automata like Gustave Vichy’s “Marchande des Masques” (Euro 30.000 – 50.000 / US$ 40,000 – 65,000), perhaps inspired by Monet’s portrait of his wife Camille as “La Japonaise”.
Functionality came to the fore again in the 20th Century with mechanical encrypting devices such as the iconic second world war “Enigma” with codes so complex, its inventor claimed, it would take a code-breaker, working day and night, 42,000 years to exhaust them all (Euro 15.000 – 25.000 / US$ 20,000 – 33,000).
Also included in the auction are historic telephones, antique typewriters, telegraphy and all manner of technology. Says company founder Uwe Breker, “this sale is unique in presenting masterpieces from the spectrum of antique technology, from the 17th century to the 21st.”

Companies Embracing Cloud Need Reliable Integrator Reveals Worldwide Survey
BANGALORE, India, LONDON and NEW YORK/PRNewswire/ —
Survey reveals more than 40 percent of enterprises are adopting hybrid cloud; highlights need for a reliable cloud ecosystem integrator
Infosys, a global leader in consulting and technology, revealed results of an IDC worldwide survey, which shows that more than 40 percent of enterprises are adopting hybrid cloud platforms. Many of the companies surveyed pointed to the need for a reliable external service provider to help navigate the complexities involved in moving to the cloud.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121114/573971 )
The survey results appear in an Infosys-sponsored IDC White Paper, “Adoption of Cloud: Private Cloud is Current Flavor but Hybrid Cloud is Fast Becoming a Reality.” The study, conducted by IDC and made available in September 2012, surveyed senior IT decision-makers from 326 large companies across the United States, United Kingdom, France, and Germany.
The cloud ecosystem is becoming more complex because of a mix of public, private, and on-premises Information Technology. Companies in the survey said that developing an expertise in monitoring these complex environments and managing them holistically have become significant challenges for them.
Some 56 percent of respondents are engaging or considering engaging an external service provider to understand how they can help with their cloud strategy, adoption roadmap, and implementation. Companies in the survey emphasized the need for working with these service providers to address the complexities that come with building and managing a unified hybrid cloud environment.
The study showed that the approach to the cloud and adoption of the hybrid cloud varies across industries. Some 53 percent of organizations in the Telecom industry have formalized cloud strategies and roadmaps, compared to more than 38 percent of organizations in the Financial Services arena. When it comes to hybrid cloud adoption, Financial Services leads the pack with more than 64 percent of organizations planning to adopt, followed by Healthcare (47 percent), Manufacturing (40 percent), and Retail (37 percent).
Some 52 percent of the respondents said “choosing the best cloud providers and ensuring integration among them” was very important, with about 14 per cent saying it was extremely important. Nearly 48 percent of companies rated “data security and integration, automation, orchestration of applications between private cloud, public cloud, and on-premise IT environments” very high.
Private cloud continues to be the top choice, with 69 percent of respondents planning to embrace that option. Productivity gains and cost savings (37 percent and 25 percent, respectively) are the top-ranking reasons why companies say they adopt the cloud.
Vishnu Bhat, Vice-President and Global Head, Cloud Services, Infosys Ltd, said, “Everyone agrees that the cloud has become an integral part of a successful business. But how an organization goes about adopting it can be a challenge. That’s why a smart company needs a proven cloud ecosystem integrator as its navigator.”
David Tapper, Vice President, IDC Outsourcing Services Research, said: “We are seeing a definite uptick in interest to invest in cloud services across organizations. With multiple service providers and the complexity of hybrid cloud environments, it can be a challenge for most organizations to manage and control the various aspects of the ecosystem, while retaining the flexibility to choose best-in-class cloud services. This study indicates that buyers are looking to partner with a reliable cloud ecosystem integrator to help optimize their cloud investments.”

iPoint-systems Launches Web-based Tool for Conflict Minerals Compliance
– “iPoint Conflict Minerals Platform” Helps Companies Comply with Dodd-Frank Act and Related Rules
REUTLINGEN, Germany/PRNewswire/ — iPoint-systems has launched the iPoint Conflict Minerals Platform (iPCMP), a web-based data management solution that will enable companies across the manufacturing industries to identify whether their products contain conflict minerals. The release of this tool is very well-timed, as reporting requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act (2010) and related rules have been adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on August 22, 2012.
Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act and related SEC rules require every publicly traded company “with conflict minerals necessary to the functionality or production of a product it manufactures or contracts to be manufactured” to provide an annual disclosure report on conflict minerals- i.e. minerals and their derivatives originating from, and financing conflict in, the Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjoining countries. These statutory requirements are going to affect more than 280,000 companies worldwide which are going to face huge challenges in tracking the origin of minerals across their global supply chains.
The iPCMP, which was developed in close collaboration with the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG), provides the entire supply chain a solution to this challenge: it streamlines the reporting processes by building on the leading Conflict Minerals reporting standard that was developed by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI). The application enables companies to document their conflict minerals status efficiently by gathering data from all of their suppliers.
“The platform is based on iPoint’s extensive experience in creating and implementing product-related environmental compliance solutions within the value chain and it is an important part of our holistic sustainable supply chain approach,” said Jorg Walden, CEO of iPoint. “iPCMP users can efficiently manage large volumes of information requests. A host of add-on features such as integrated validation checks, statistics, online report storage and granular due diligence reports, ensure that our customers meet the traceability requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act.”
For a limited time, interested companies may test the iPCMP on a free-trial-basis. With a view to the future, iPoint is going to integrate the iPCMP into a comprehensive compliance & sustainability software suite to support companies across the whole range of reporting needs.
