IB cease to offer currencies and interest rates derivatives

  1. Evidently IB will cease to offer currencies and interest rates derivatives in all foreign markets (Options, futures and options on futures) to retail and corporate clients in Japan.
    Does anybody know why?

    Evidently IB will cease to offer currencies and interest rates derivatives in all non US based currencies (Options, futures and options on futures) to retail and corporate clients in Japan ?

    anyway, it makes sense as those derivatives have relatively lousy volatility.

  3. If it is Japan specific then it is most likely the result of changes in Japanese legislation.
