Mitrade Strengthens Client Fund Protection, Secures Five Global Awards as Latin America Navigates Political and Market Shifts
BOGOTÁ, Colombia, March 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ —As Mitrade expands in Latin America (LATAM), the CFD broker has extended its client fund insurance coverage to clients onboarded under its CIMA, FSC and FSCA-regulated entities, strengthening protection for leveraged traders amid shifting capital flows and market volatility in the region.
The coverage provides up to US$1 million in aggregate protection in the unlikely event of broker insolvency, offering security beyond regulatory requirements.
LATAM markets are monitoring volatility in global energy markets as Israel-Iran tensions drive swings in oil prices, inflation expectations and emerging-market currencies, according to Euronews. Traders across commodity-linked economies are watching energy prices and geopolitical developments.
Energy markets reacted sharply, with Brent crude trading above US$80 per barrel amid supply concerns linked to the conflict, AP News reported. Rising energy prices have renewed inflation concerns and increased volatility across commodities, currencies and equity indices — dynamics closely watched by leveraged traders.
Kevin Lai, Vice President of Mitrade Group, said structural safeguards remain central to traders’ decisions.
“LATAM markets sit at the intersection of commodity cycles, fiscal shifts and global capital allocation,” Lai said. “Political adjustment and currency volatility can create opportunity, often drawing greater market participation and increasing exposure to risk. Extending this coverage reinforces operational accountability as regional participation expands.”
In 2026, Mitrade secured five industry awards:
• Best Broker MENA 2026 — World Business Outlook
• Best Multi-Asset Trading 2026 — FX Daily Info
• Best Broker Education Global 2026 — International Business Magazine
• Regulated Broker of the Year Global 2026 — International Business Magazine
• Best CFD Broker Global 2026 — Global Business and Finance Magazine
The awards reflect the group’s governance standards and risk management framework as LATAM continues to attract capital amid political shifts.
