Volatility has been a key driver of trading activity this year, the on-going European debt crisis, the yen, and now the quantitative easing program.

Alexander Razuvaev, Head of Alpari's Analytical Department, commented, "The geopolitical situation in the Middle East, the uncertainty surrounding the decisions of the world’s central banks and conflicting macroeconomic reports, have led to heightened volatility in the markets.

At the same time, speculators have cut back on trading the yen, as the monetary and foreign exchange policy of the Bank of Japan has been difficult to pin down," he concluded. Alpari RU is the only firm in the Russian and the CIS market which discloses its trading metrics.
