Argentex Group PLC - London-based currency risk management firm - The UK Financial Conduct Authority orders Argentex operating subsidiary Argentex LLP ‘to cease all regulated activity, to not register and onboard new customers, and to not open any new foreign exchange trades’. Under the ‘voluntary’ agreement, Argentex also must ‘take all reasonable steps to stop incoming payments from existing customers’. It follows the FCA’s supervision of Argentex amid ‘liquidity pressures’ caused by currency market volatility. Argentex had until Tuesday this week to find additional funding by means of a secured revolving credit facility but was unable to do so. As a result, its shares were suspended from trading in London on Thursday. They had plummeted more than 90% since April, when Argentex revealed a sharp deterioration in its short-term liquidity position. Copyright 2025 Alliance News Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
