Firms like IG Index operate under this license. Binary options are also regulated financial instruments in Australia (covered by the Australian Securities and Investment Council).The impact on traders of the regulatory framework as it presently exists in different countries is very clear. It is either traders adjust to the new realities or continue with the old way of doing things and face whatever risks and consequences that may follow.What do we mean Traders who have accounts with brokers whose regulatory status is undefined would have to move those accounts to brokers that are clearly regulated in order to enjoy full protection. Traders who live in the US would be better served trading with Nadex, while those in the UK and in Europe can trade with IG Index and other regulated brokers in Cyprus and Malta.It will take until early 2014 before a definitive list of regulated binary options brokers in all jurisdictions across the world will emerge. At the moment, traders should exercise extreme caution when opening new accounts, as it is clear that with this effort to sanitize the industry, some of these unregulated brokers will either have to comply with the new rules, or submit themselves to acquisition from the regulated ones.The argument that a weaker yen should drive prices across the board in Japan doesnt hold as cheaper oil continues to undercut price pressure. Cheaper crude oil is likely to exert downward pressure on inflation and could reach close to -0.8 half way through the year, according to economists. Crude oil prices, as we know, have plummeted around 50 since last June amid a global supply glut.Ending the last two decades of deflation is one of the main objectives of Prime Minister Abes economic policies and the Bank of Japans mandate but so far, they have fallen short. In February, Japans core inflation rate registered near zero percent on year, excluding the after effects of the consumption tax hike in April 2014 as revealed in recent government data.Japanese households have held off spending since the government raised the consumption tax from 5 to 8 in April 2014 with household spending contracting by 2.9 on year, the 13th straight month of contraction. Given that imports account for a mere 20 of Japanese household spending, the tax hike may be having a wider negative impact than previously thought and has made Japanese producers who use imported goods pass on higher import costs in other ways rather than raising prices, undercutting inflation further.The yens near 30 depreciation versus the U.S. dollar and more than 8 increase in oil prices between September 2012 and May 2014 boosted inflation in the second half of 2013 by around 0.5. The yen has weakened almost 10 since the BOJ increased its quantitative easing program in October 2014, but the move only raised the inflation rate by 0.25. With its two-year target to reach 2 inflation by this April out of reach, analysts are expecting the BOJ to extend its goal and ease monetary policy again.REGULATION: Banc De Binary is a Financial Services Company authorized and regulated by the Cyprus Securities Exchange Commission (CySEC) under license no. 188/13 and is registered with global regulatory authorities including the FCA, FSB and other EEA financial licensing bodies.
