FX market round up: Veteran broker back to broking

Veteran broker Jeff Hurley has been lured back to the market by Tradition to broker dollar/rand. Hurley, who had been out of the market for some time after leaving Tullett Prebon – sources say that he was doing some building trade work – at one time apparently held the there-and-back, barefoot cross-Channel water skiing record. Tradition has also made further hires for its emerging markets area, including Quentin Younghusband and Neil Standen, both from Tullett, and David Rees from BGC. All will be based in London. Elsewhere, it has poached Robbie Kemp from Tullett and Glen Davies from Icap to work in its Johannesburg office.
