FFAJ May Binary Options Statistics Show Further Declines From April's Drop

May binary options trading statistics have been released today by the Financial Futures Association of Japan (FFAJ) for over-the-counter (OTC) retail trading across seven reporting member brokerages, showing declines from April, in terms of active client accounts and binary options trading volumes.

Trading volumes for the reported binary options totals from the FFAJ declined by 16% from ¥36.489 billion (est. $334million) in April, to ¥30.408 billion in May, lower by ¥6.08 billion month-over-month for the combined 7 members.

Trading volumes declined across all reported currency pairs, except for the GBP/USD pair - although its increase was more than offset by the declines in other reported pairs which caused the overall drop from April making May the fourth month of declining binary options volumes reported by FFAJ.
