It has been a bearish year for the US dollar, but the biggest surprise has been the USD/JPY pair for me in the FX space. By Christmas eve, the Dollar Index (DXY) was down 9.6% year-to-date, trading around 98.00, its weakest level since 2022.

If you are browsing social media or trading forums in regions like Latin America or Southeast Asia, you have likely come across ads for a broker named Exnova. They are currently experiencing a surge in popularity, holding an "A" ranking in Influence according to our data, with significant traffic coming from Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, and Indonesia.

If you are looking into the Indonesian forex market, you have likely crossed paths with MIFX (Monex Investindo Futures). They are significantly influential in Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia, with a footprint expanding into Malaysia and Vietnam. But popularity doesn't always equal safety.

VenturyFX is a relatively new brokerage established in 2023 with its headquarters located in Mauritius. While the broker serves clients internationally, notably in regions such as Brazil/Colombia/Spain/Mexico, it currently operates without valid regulatory oversight. The broker holds a WikiFX Score of 1.37, which is considered low and indicates a high-risk environment for traders.
