MOEX FX Volumes Rise 20% in July, But Lags Year over Year
- July turnover included spot trades of $87 billion, and swap trades coming in at $366 billion.

Moscow Exchange (MOEX) has released its trading volumes for the month ending July 2019. The exchange’s total FX volume was up on a monthly basis, but a weaker ADV figure ultimately shows a notable drop from last year’s numbers.
During July 2019, MOEX’s total FX market turnover secured a monthly growth to RUB 29.6 trillion ($453 billion), jumping by 19 percent month-over-month from RUB 24.7 trillion ($390 billion) in June 2019. However, the latest reading corroborates a mild drop in volumes at the exchange on a year-over-year basis, as the figure failed to secure a consecutive yearly growth, falling by nine percent from RUB 32.5 trillion in July 2018.
July 2019’s turnover included spot trades of RUB 5.7 trillion ($87 billion), or 21 percent of the total trading volume, and swap trades coming in at RUB 23.9 trillion ($366 billion).
MOEX’s FX market’s average daily turnover in July 2019 was RUB 1,287 billion ($19.7 billion), corresponding to a drop of one percent month-over-month from RUB 1.300 trillion ($20.5 billion) in June 2019, and was also lower by 13 percent year-over-year from RUB 1.47 trillion in July 2018.
