Abstract:ASIC suspends HLK Group Pty Ltd's AFS license for six months due to inactivity in their financial services business, effective until December 27, 2024.

The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has announced the suspension of HLK Group Pty Ltd's Australian Financial Services (AFS) license. The suspension is set for six months, lasting until December 27, 2024.
The decision comes as HLK Group has ceased operating its financial services business. The AFS license, initially granted to HLK Group on May 31, 2013, under license number 435746, permitted the company to offer financial product advice and deal in various financial products for both retail and wholesale clients. However, HLK Group currently has no active retail or wholesale clients, leading to the suspension.
ASIC's action underscores the regulatory body's commitment to ensuring that AFS license holders actively provide financial services to their clients. Companies that fail to do so risk losing their licenses, as demonstrated in this case.

Strong retail participation in 2026 is driving forex and CFD trading volumes higher, as investors expand beyond equities into macro-sensitive markets.

The forex market is a happening place with currency pairs getting traded almost non-stop for five days a week. Some currencies become stronger, some become weaker, and some remain neutral or rangebound. If you talk about the Indian National Rupee (INR), it has dipped sharply against major currencies globally over the past year. The USD/INR was valued at around 85-86 in Feb 2025. As we stand in Feb 2026, the value has dipped to over 90. The dip or rise, whatever the case may be, impacts our daily lives. It determines the price of an overseas holiday and imported goods, while influencing foreign investors’ perception of a country. The foreign exchange rates change constantly, sometimes multiple times a day, amid breaking news in the economic and political spheres globally. In this article, we have uncovered details on exchange rate fluctuations and key facts that every trader should know regarding these. Read on!
