Capital.com appoints sr market analyst

Global trading platform, Capital.com, has announced the appointment of Kyle Rodda, one of Australia’s leading financial market commentators, as its new senior market analyst who will be responsible for market analysis in Australia and Asia Pacific.

Rodda, who has more than 10 years of experience in financial markets, will be based in Melbourne.

He was most recently a presenter and market commentator at Australian business streaming platform, ausbiz TV. Prior to his role at ausbiz, Kyle was responsible for Australian Market Analysis at IG Australia.

The firm said the appointment followed its strong client growth across its Australian business, with the number of new account openings across the Capital.com Australia platform to have grown by more than 43% year-to-date.

In his new role, Kyle will be responsible for delivering detailed, high-quality market analysis on a regular basis to traders in Australia and around the world.

He will also support clients with a range of analysis, insights and  educational content across a number of channels including video, web, social media and email.

“Australia is a relatively open, trade-exposed economy. This means changes in other countries could have significant implications for us, and in the world of trading a successful trader looks at various dynamics including politics, economy, society and technology,” Laura Lin, chief executive, Capital.com Australia, said.

“Kyle’s expertise and understanding of the local and global markets will be instrumental in supporting our growth and addressing our clients’ burgeoning interest in the Australian markets and the surrounding region.”
