CMC Markets launches new podcast series to global audience

CMC Markets, one of the world’s leading spread betting and contracts for difference (CFD) providers, has today launched a third series of its popular The Artful Trader podcast. Initially developed for the Australian market, the first two series proved hugely popular, reaching over 68,000 listeners and featuring in the top 10 of the Australian business podcast chart. As a result of this positive reception, the content will now be promoted globally.

Each episode focuses on a high-profile guest, where they provide a unique perspective on how confidence has helped them succeed in their chosen field. We discover how they acquire confidence and keep their ego in check, and the dangers of overconfidence.

CMC Markets’ chief market analyst and episode six host, Michael Hewson, commented: “One of the most important concepts in trading any type of market is mindset – being confident, disciplined, and with the understanding that you’re never too old to learn.”
