FOREX.com Expects Improving Global Recovery in 1Q 2011 Markets Outlook

U.S. Stimulus Measures Pave the Way for an Improved U.S. Outlook in the New Year; Gold and Silver to Shine Further; 2010 Eurozone Debt Crisis Far From Over

NEW YORK and LONDON, January 4, 2011 - Improved U.S. growth prospects could spark gains for risk assets, like
stocks and commodities, while the debt crisis in Europe may get worse before
it gets better, according to an outlook presented by FOREX.com, a division of
GAIN Capital, in its 1Q 2011 Markets Outlook report.

"The passage of the U.S. tax cut extension and additional stimulus
measures paves the way for an improved U.S. outlook, which is a positive for
the overall global recovery's prospects. Further, we believe the potential
for a "double dip" recession is now over," said Brian Dolan, chief currency
strategist, FOREX.com. "In the Eurozone, problems remain as we head into
2011. So far, the credit crisis in the peripheral nations has not spread to a
currency crisis, but this could change if Spain were to require a bailout."

Other expectations from the FOREX.com 1Q 2011 Markets Outlook include:

    - Euro remains vulnerable to on-going impasse between ECB and national
      governments over debt crisis resolution mechanism
    - China's growth to slow only marginally, with inflation likely to remain
      elevated
    - Australia continues to chug along and the Australian dollar continues
      to outperform despite the Reserve Bank of Australia staying on hold
    - The New Zealand dollar underperforms as the Reserve Bank of New Zealand
      takes a more dovish stance
    - Anticipated higher gold and silver prices; in particular, XAU/EUR to
      reach new all-time highs
    - Improved demand and tightening supply likely to push crude oil prices
      higher

The FOREX.com research team highlights potential technical levels for key
pairs, such as EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, USD/CAD, and AUD/USD. Key
cross-currency pairs like EUR/JPY and EUR/GBP are also covered.

The FOREX.com Markets Outlook provides commentary and market forecasts
with its view of the direction of the world's major currencies as well as key
commodities including gold, silver and oil. The report is prepared by Mr.
Dolan, Research Director Kathleen Brooks and Senior Technical Strategists
