Far East focused Retail FX and CFDs brokerage group Mitrade has announced that it has engaged Singapore based executive Christopher Brankin as Global Markets Advisor. A markets commentator featured on CNBC, Bloomberg, and Reuters, Christopher Brankin was previously CEO of TD Ameritrade Singapore (2011-2022), and later headed regional expansion for Capital.com (2022-2023).

In this role, Brankin will contribute institutional analysis, market commentaries, and educational insights on global market developments for Mitrade.

Having worked both the trading floor and the helm of major brokerages, Christopher Brankin brings over three decades of market experience. Starting in Chicago’s open-outcry futures pits in 1995, he ran a proprietary trading desk and oversaw execution and clearing at thinkorswim before building and leading regulated firms across Asia, navigating cycles from the 2008 financial crisis to 2020 market volatility.

“2026 has put European traders through a war-driven energy shock and back-to-back rate rises. Europe now imports its volatility, and traders who understand its source see the market differently. Mitrade shares my belief in financial literacy, and I look forward to adding my perspective through the platforms I have,” said Christopher Brankin, Global Markets Advisor, Mitrade Group.
