ATFX leveraged its sponsorship to present insights on currency portfolio construction. 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 examined how macroeconomic shifts influence currency markets and outlined considerations for building adaptive FX portfolios. Shanti addressed three core areas: macro regime classification, currency pair selection based on macro drivers and correlation analysis, and portfolio construction resilient to changing market conditions.
The award reflects ATFX‘s strategic focus on the MENA region, where Dubai’s expanding financial ecosystem has attracted international market participants. The broker’s growing regional presence aligns with Dubai’s development as a financial centre for the Middle East. The Best Global Forex Broker recognition represents another milestone in ATFX‘s engagement with the region’s expanding market infrastructure and trading community.
