Taking the financial market by surprise, GMI, one of the leading global forex and CFD brokers, announced its intention to close its global operations from December 31, 2025. Since the official shutdown announcement, traders have been concerned about the status of fund deposits and withdrawals. They have understandably been searching for answers to these questions amid this announcement made by the group. Read on as we share with you key details emerging from the development.

A Major Announcement on Deposit & Withdrawal Options

The GMI management has allowed its existing traders to deposit until Dec 24, 2025, only. However, it has declined to accept new client and agent registrations. As per the announcement, customers can only close their market positions. On the other hand, the brokerage house has allowed traders to apply for fund withdrawals until January 31, 2026. Sharing a screenshot containing an official shutdown announcement from GMI.

What Led to the GMI Shutdown Announcement?

Founded in 2009, the brokerage house has been contemplating an exit amid an old and ailing boss. Over the past two years, the brokerage management tried to recruit a new boss to spearhead GMI. Many wealthy financial groups and major investment houses evinced interest in acquiring the group at attractive prices. However, the brokerage house could not find a suitable, honest and qualified boss to steer the company ahead despite screening many applicants during the review period. Acknowledging that it was an extremely difficult decision, the brokerage management decided to close the company and its clientele base to an operator, but not without potential future risks and doubts. As shown above, the brokerage management thanked everyone for their support and contributions over the last 16 years.

What? The Rupee’s Fall from 90 to 95 Remains the Fastest Five-Point Decline in a Decade!

No, we are not kidding! The rupee has indeed hit this low, from 90 to 95 against the US dollar, the fastest in nearly a decade, highlighting the slump due to rising crude oil prices and global uncertainty from the series of adverse events related to the geopolitical conflict in the Middle East. It just took five months for the rupee to weaken from 90 to 95, the sharpest five-point depreciation since the 2013 taper tantrum. During this period, the rupee declined from 60 to 65 within a month amid concerns over India’s current account deficit and large capital outflows.
