Brokers’ Trading Volume Defies Summer Lull
The record volumes came during the summer months, when the industry usually sees a lull due to holidays worldwide. Although Hantec did not explain the reason behind the increased demand, it can be assumed that ongoing market volatility pushed the volumes higher.
Hantec is not alone in seeing record volumes during the summer months. Other brokers also confirmed similar record numbers for August and September to FinanceMagnates.com.
“We started the year with a clear sign of trust from clients and our long-term investment in product, people, and partnerships,” said Hantec Markets’ COO, Nader Nurmohamed. “The numbers speak for themselves, showing that it’s paying off.”
According to Hantec’s website, the broker has around 200,000 traders globally.
