The new instruments are available on LIVE and DEMO JForex accounts for Japanese clients at Dukascopy Japan.

Dukascopy Japan K.K. is a Type-1 licensed broker located in Tokyo, Japan, regulated by the Financial Services Agency of Japan (JFSA). Dukascopy Japan K.K. is a 100% owned subsidiary of Dukascopy Bank and operates exclusively in Japan.

Dukascopy said that following the launch of CFD commodity trading in 2024, the next target is to obtain the license for CFDs on equities for Dukascopy Japan K.K. Operating in Japan, one of the world’s largest FX marketplaces with very strong competition and strict regulations, remains an important element in the strategy of Dukascopy Bank.
