Metals Poised for Further Gain in Fourth Quarter Despite a Sluggish Global Recovery, According to FOREX.com Analysts

NEW YORK and LONDON, September 22, 2010 - After a brief pause in the third quarter, precious metals gathered
momentum as major currencies struggled and commodity currencies took the lead
in a sluggish economy, according to an outlook presented by FOREX.com, a
division of GAIN Capital, during its 4Q 2010 Markets Outlook webcast.

"If our view plays out that the major economies will see new bouts of
weakness, we would expect overall risk sentiment to remain cautious, and this
should restrain stock and commodity prices broadly. In particular, the
seasonality patterns in metals suggest a correction lower before bouncing
back to new record highs," said Brian Dolan, FOREX.com's chief currency
strategist.

Mr. Dolan continued, "Overall, the global recovery will continue, but it
will remain uneven and subject to continued high levels of uncertainty. While
we expect the major economies - U.S., Eurozone, U.K., and Japan - to slow
further into the end of the year, we don't expect any of them to fall back
into recession. But depending on the severity of the expected slowdown, that
risk may become more intense in 2011."

    Other highlights from the FOREX.com 4Q 2010 Markets Outlook include:

    - Gold prices may see some pull-back on profit-taking, but gains are
      likely to resume into the end of the year as major currencies are
      expected to stay weak.
    - Expectations that the Fed and the BOE may initiate additional asset
      purchases, also known as quantitative easing, or QE2, may see those
      currencies come under more extreme pressure.
    - Eurozone sovereign debt concerns remain elevated as the third quarter
      draws to a close.
    - The U.S. congressional mid-term elections loom large - current polls
      suggest the Republican party has a decent chance of taking control of
      both houses of Congress, but we think the Democrats may yet hold on to
      the Senate, potentially leading to split control.

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.
