This figure represents a considerable increase over July’s figures of $270 billion, the most recent record month, and over $243 billion in June, a month during which the company saw average daily volumes reach the $11 billion mark, thus placing the firm in a strong position among its peers.

Although Alpari weathered the storm of 2012’s industry-wide volumes relatively well, it is clear that trading has made a consistent return to form during the first half of this year.
