Swissquote, Switzerland's online bank, just added new currency pairs and Forward CFDs to its already bountiful offer of trading products.

The addition of the US Dollar vs Offshore Chinese Yuan pair is a logical step in the bank's affirmed strategy to develop its Asian business from its Hong Kong offices. Since Beijing has allowed the yuan to trade more freely, the currency has also become greatly sought after by traders looking to venture off the beaten paths.

All currencies are tradable from Swissquote's proprietary platform, Advanced Trader, as well as from the popular MetaTrader 4 & 5, while the Forward CFDs are available on MT4 & MT5 only. Swissquote clients can now access the following new products from their favourite trading platform:

Forex

--  US Dollar vs Offshore Chinese Yuan (USDCNH)

--  Euro vs Russian Ruble (EURRUB)

Forward CFDs

Commodities

--  Gasoil

--  Gasoline

--  US Copper
