https://beta.finance.yahoo.com/news/fxcm-posts-best-day-since-203636242.html

FXCM Inc. (NYSE: FXCM) shares are trading higher by $1.69 at $6.99 in Monday's session. It is having its best day since its 1-for-10 reverse split, which became effective on October 1.

That's a one day gain of more than 50 percent.

One day removed from its reverse split low ($5.26), the issue bottomed off its print at $5.41 and began to mover higher.

So far, it has climbed into the $7 handle and has found some intraday resistance ahead of its November 23 high ($7.13), only reaching $7.08 before falling consolidating at the $7 area.


Catalyst?

On Friday after market close, the company reaffirmed its $130 million buyback program and said it is still "committed" to restructuring its initial bailout arrangement with Leucadia National Corp. (NYSE: LUK).

The company it tripled its money on the $300 million assistance package made with FXCM in January.

Though the specifics have yet to be released, revised terms between the two companies could benefit shareholders.
