Credit Financier Invest (CFI) launches 'Trading Transparency+' programme to raise awareness and highlight trading realities
















CFI Financial Group, the region's leading online trading provider, proudly announces the launch of its pioneering programme, "Trading Transparency+: Empowering Awareness and Clarity in Trading." This initiative aims to tackle misinformation and market noise, helping individuals gain clarity on trading realities and access the resources they may need to determine whether trading aligns with their financial aspirations and circumstances.

With trading becoming increasingly accessible, individuals are often overwhelmed by a flood of information, unrealistic expectations, and confusion about the suitability of trading. Trading Transparency+ serves as a trusted guide, cutting through these complexities with transparency and knowledge. The programme includes multiple components, with the 'Trading Reality Check' as a standout feature - an engaging tool designed to help participants explore whether trading aligns with their goals and if they fully understand the realities and related risks of trading. Beyond this, Trading Transparency+ provides a comprehensive suite of educational and awareness resources, including videos, seminars, webinars, and articles, to explain trading's suitability, risks, and myths.

Empowering knowledge, promoting responsibility

The Trading Transparency+ programme is built on three core pillars:

1. Reality-Based Education: Offering seminars, webinars, articles, and videos that address trading myths, risks, and rewards with transparency and clarity.


2. Interactive Tools for Self-Reflection: Featuring the 'Trading Reality Check', a user-friendly tool that provides individuals with a personalised exploration of whether trading aligns with their goals and circumstances, and whether they have the facts right about the realities of trading.

3. Collaborative Partnerships: Engaging with governmental, regulatory, and educational institutions to provide credible, actionable insights that promote responsible trading practices.













"We recognise that the public is often exposed to wrong and sometimes even misleading information about trading and its reality," said CFI's co-founder and managing director, Hisham Mansour. "Through Trading Transparency+, its pillars, and particularly the 'Trading Reality Check,' and the different videos, articles, seminars, and webinars we will be arranging, we aim to empower individuals to understand whether trading aligns with their personal circumstances, goals, and risk tolerance or not, the difference between trading and investing, and much more. We also aim to raise awareness that sometimes, the right decision might be choosing not to trade or at least not to trade specific products. Our mission through this initiative is to bring clarity and confidence to every step of the financial journey."

Through Trading Transparency+, CFI reaffirms its dedication to fostering clarity, education, and integrity - empowering individuals to make thoughtful and informed choices when it comes to trading and financial markets.

Nvidia stock plunges as DeepSeek sparks AI stock selloff

  Nvidia stock shares plummeted on Monday, wiping out hundreds of billions in market value, as investors grappled with the emergence of a powerful and surprisingly affordable AI model from Chinese startup DeepSeek. Global investors were worried that the emergence of the low-cost Chinese artificial intelligence model would threaten the dominance of AI leaders like Nvidia, evaporating $593 billion of the chipmaker's market value, a record one-day loss for any company on Wall Street. Last week, Chinese startup DeepSeek launched a free AI assistant that it says uses less data at a fraction of the cost of incumbent services. By Monday, the assistant had overtaken US rival ChatGPT in downloads from Apple's app store. This led the tech-heavy Nasdaq to fall 3.1% on Monday. Nvidia was the Nasdaq's biggest drag, with its shares tumbling just under 17% and marking a record one-day loss in market capitalization for a Wall Street stock, according to LSEG data. Nvidia's market-cap lo...
