The latest figures failed to hold onto September’s momentum, which by and large erased a lackluster Q3 2017, which saw volumes trending downward.

In particular, Thomson Reuters saw a total average daily volume (ADV) of its foreign Exchange (FX) products, including spot, forwards, Swaps options and non-deliverable forwards (NDF), coming in at $390 billion, an increase of 7.1 percent year-over-year from $364 billion in October 2016. However, the figure was lower compared to September 2017, marking a drop of 5.1 percent month-over-month from $411 billion the month earlier.

Of the $390 billion figure, $91 billion was FX spot, the lowest since August 2017, and also representing a notable drop over both monthly and yearly intervals. The latest figure reflects a 11.7 percent decline from the $103 billion set back for FX spot volumes in September 2017, and -4.2 percent year-over-year from $94 billion a year back.

Other transaction types – including forwards, swaps, options and non-deliverable forwards (NDFs) – averaged $299 billion daily, down 2.9 percent from $308 billion the previous month.
