ATFX has been named Best Global Forex Broker at Forex Expo Dubai 2026, with ATFX participating as an Elite Sponsor on 22–23 September at the Dubai World Trade Centre. The event brought together traders, brokers and financial industry professionals, providing an opportunity for ATFX to share market perspectives and engage in discussions around developments shaping the global FX industry, particularly relevant to Dubai and the wider MENA region.
Khaldoun Sharaiha, CEO of ATFX MENA, said: “Being recognised as Best Global Forex Broker at Forex Expo Dubai 2026 is an important achievement for ATFX. For us, it is a recognition of the work our teams put in across MENA, with our focus on supporting clients and our continued engagement with the trading community. We are proud to receive this recognition and look forward to continuing to build on these efforts.”
ATFX Shares Insights on FX Portfolio Strategies
As part of the event’s speaker programme, Mohammad Shanti, Head of Market Research & Analysis at ATFX MENA, delivered a presentation titled “Designing Currency Pairs & FX Portfolios for 2026 Macro Regimes.”
The session explored how changing macroeconomic conditions can influence currency markets and the factors traders may consider when building FX portfolios. Mohammad discussed three key areas: understanding different macro regimes, selecting currency pairs based on macro drivers, correlation and risk exposure, and building FX portfolios that can adapt to changing market conditions.
By looking at currencies from a portfolio perspective, the presentation highlighted the importance of considering how different positions interact and how changes in the broader macroeconomic environment can affect market exposure.
Engaging with Dubai’s Growing Financial Community
Dubai has become an increasingly important financial centre in the MENA region, with its strategic location and expanding financial ecosystem attracting businesses from international markets. Forex Expo Dubai 2026 reflected this development, with more than 23,000 attendees, 270 exhibitors and 150 speakers taking part over two days.
For ATFX, its growing presence in Dubai reflects its broader role in the region’s evolving financial environment. ATFX continues to build its presence across MENA as Dubai develops as an important financial centre for the region. The Best Global Forex Broker recognition adds to this presence, marking another significant step in ATFX’s continued engagement with the expanding MENA market.
