2013-01-30 07:40:58 - Investors and traders are officially enjoying new record highs across local stocks with the ASX 200 index hitting new 21 month highs and a rare 10 day winning streak which is the longest since 2003.

Business confidence levels in Australia recently had the biggest surge in over 10 years as local stock markets continued to push into new blue sky territory, with the local Aussie Index hitting its second ever 10 day winning streak. 10 straight up days has not occurred on the ASX 200 since October 2003 and investors and traders are keen to get a piece of the action with many being welcomed by some of the lowest brokerage rates available in the market.

LCG Markets Director ( www.LCGmarkets.com.au), Ashley Jessen commented “Markets both here in Australia and around the world, including the Dow Jones, S&P500, FTSE, DAX and Nikkei markets, have been consistently hitting new recent highs and traders are either excited about

banking some gains or eager to jump in and get a piece of the action.”

“Never has there been such an exciting time with current technologies providing traders with advanced charting tools, free daily analysis of the markets and the ability to trade the markets via their PC, iPad or Smart Phone, with brokerage rates set at $5 minimum or 0.05% for trades over $10,000 as standard.” Jessen added.

“Recently we’ve fielded more calls than usual and we tend to find this increase in interest definitely occurs around times of new highs or bullish sentiment, which we are experiencing right now. Ideally we recommend traders build their confidence up on our intuitive and simple to use demo trading platform and to build a solid and effective trading strategy that allows them to reach their personal financial objectives,” noted Jessen.
