Trump Announcements Spark Trading Frenzy in UAE
Capital.com has reported a significant surge in trading activity in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) following announcements from Donald Trump. According to Tarik Chebib, Middle East CEO of Capital.com, these announcements trigger near-instant price swings and increased trading volume on their platform.
Chebib noted that the market response to Trump's announcements is often faster than reactions to Federal Reserve decisions or major US economic data releases. This trend has contributed to record trading volumes in the MENA region for Q1 2025, with Capital.com attributing this growth to both rising local appetite for retail trading and global market volatility.
The platform's affiliate, Capital Vault, has received a UAE regulatory license to offer spot virtual asset services, positioning itself to serve traders who want exposure to crypto alongside traditional assets under one regulated roof.
