One of the handful of regulated Forex brokers in Russia – VTB Capital Forex, has warned of temporary disruptions to currency trading.
In a notice published on its website today, the broker says there might be interruptions in the trading of certain Forex pairs. The company says these are due to the current situation which has triggered increased volatility across financial markets.
