During May 2017, Saxo Bank saw its total average daily volumes increase slightly to $14.4 billion, up just 1.4 percent month-over-month from $14.2 billion in the month prior. Comparing year-over-year, this figure looks a bit better, scoring a 5.1 percent increase from $13.7 billion in May 2016.
In terms of its total volume, Saxo Bank yielded a figure of $331.1 billion in May 2017, up 16.5 percent from $284.1 billion in April. In addition, the latest figure is also higher than the $300.9 billion in total volume secured last year in May 2016, which equates to a 10 percent gain year-over-year.
Looking specifically at the FX trading side of the business, the May results were mixed. Total monthly FX trading volume at Saxo Bank reached $235 billion, up 13.8 percent MoM and 8.9 percent YoY. However, this was not due to a daily pickup in FX volumes as these actually dropped to just $10.2 billion down from $10.3 billion in April 2017. Still, this is an improvement of 4 percent YoY from May 2016's daily FX volumes of $9.8 billion.
