MELBOURNE, Australia, Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Melbourne-founded [CFD broker Mitrade](https://www.mitrade.com/en/about-us/mitrade?utm_source=prn_news&utm_medium=PR33_AU&utm_campaign=brankins_appt)
has enlisted Christopher Brankin as Global Markets Advisor. A veteran markets voice
featured on CNBC, Bloomberg and Reuters, Brankin ran TD Ameritrade Singapore for
more than a decade and later headed regional expansion for a CFD brokerage.

The need for that global perspective is growing, as the forces moving Australian
markets are increasingly being set overseas. When the Reserve Bank of Australia 
lifted the cash rate to 4.60% in late September, it cited higher global energy prices.
Yet the Australian dollar still slipped below 70 US cents that day, with oil above
US$105 a barrel and rates at their highest since November 2011, as ABC News noted
in its market coverage.

Spanning Chicago floor trading pits to leading major Asian brokerages, Brankin brings
over two decades of battle-tested leadership in market structure and retail trading
dynamics. He is a frequent speaker on Asia-Pacific fintech stages and an established
media commentator.

"There’s no such thing as an isolated local market anymore. Every trading screen
responds to the same macro forces. Whether it’s geopolitical friction, energy supply
shocks, or central bank pivots, those decisions hit local order books immediately.
Mitrade understands that retail traders need raw context, not diluted noise, and
I’m looking forward to giving them an unfiltered, global perspective," said Christopher
Brankin, Global Markets Advisor, Mitrade Group.

In this role, Brankin will regularly unpack macroeconomic trends, rate dynamics,
and market volatility through actionable analysis, and executive commentaries.
