Commodity Trading Forex Brokers in Japan

In Japan, all CFD & forex brokers are strictly regulated by the government via the Japan Financial Services Agency (JFSA). Although this is a well-respected regulator in financial circles, it is also known to impose harsh restrictions on what brokers can and cannot offer to their non-professional clients. As a result, many foreign CFD brokers now don’t accept Japanese traders as clients.

Commodities trading has always been popular in Japan, and there are still many Japanese traders who take part in this market. In fact, it is often said that the world’s first commodity futures market was established in Japan as a place to trade rice futures several hundred years ago. This tradition has continued until the present day, and Tokyo is today considered one of the world’s largest financial trading centers.
