Bedminster, New Jersey—January 15, 2015—GAIN Capital (NYSE:GCAP, “GAIN” or “the Company”) commented on this morning’s extreme volatility in the Swiss franc, following a surprise announcement by the Swiss National Bank that it would move interest rates to -0.75% and abandon the 1.20 floor for EUR/CHF.
