Kabu, a major Japanese brokerage, published its trading metrics for September 2021, reporting a marginal decline in the over-the-counter (OTC) Forex transactions. Total trading volume for the month came in at 38.7 billion yen, which is 1.12 percent lower than the demand in the previous month.

However, the latest Forex Trading figures are significantly higher when compared with the same month a year ago. According to the previous disclosures of the brokerage, Kabu handled 30.6 billion yen worth of the forex volumes in September 2020.

FXSpotStream last month hit $1.06 trillion in total trading volumes, while Cboe FX Markets witnessed an 18.5 percent surge in forex volumes. Integral, a forex industry technology provider, also reported a marginal 1.6 percent monthly uptick in trading volume.

Coming to the Japanese platform again, it closed the month with little more than 27 billion yen in assets under custody, which is almost similar to the previous month’s figure despite the significant upsurge in the securities trading. It had a credit balance of 2.8 billion.
