FNG Exclusive… FNG has learned that longtime OANDA Senior Market Analyst Craig Erlam has left the company.
We understand that Mr. Erlam’s departure is part of an overall series of cost cutting moves at OANDA.
Craig Erlam, who is based in London, had been in his role as OANDA’s lead analyst for more than nine years. In some ways Craig was the “face” of the company to the investing public, appearing often as a guest commentator on business and investing news shows on Bloomberg, CNBC, BBC, Sky News and FOX Business, as well as in videos on OANDA’s own YouTube channel. His views have also featured online and in print publications including the Financial Times, Reuters, Yahoo and MSN.
Prior to joining OANDA in 2015 Craig was an analyst for three years at Alpari UK.
We had also reported recently on the departure of OANDA’s Singapore-based Head of Emerging Markets, Sam Eder, who left to start a new trader focused website called Marketmates.
