FXSpotStream Sees April 2017 Trading Volumes Tick Lower
- The uptick in March volumes at FXSpotStream was short lived, with April's metrics reversing last month's improvement.
FXSpotStream LLC, the aggregator service of LiquidityMatch LLC, today announced its latest volumes for the month ending April 2017, which took a step back, ultimately paring the last month’s gain, according to a FXSpotStream LLC statement.

During the month of April 2017, FXSpotStream reported an average daily volume (ADV) of $17.11 billion, which represented a move lower over a yearly timeframe, as volumes incurred a fall of -4.8 percent year-on-year from $17.97 billion back in April 2016. In addition, the latest figures, which encompass all of the group’s streaming and matching products, constitute a decline of -8.9 percent in terms of volumes from March 2017.
Indeed, April’s volumes are a ways off from the company’s peak for this year which was recorded at $18.9 billion back in January 2017, which reflects a full -10.5 percent loss.
FXSpotStream also saw a sizable drop across its total trading volumes in April 2017 after reported just $342.3 billion for the month, down -20.7 percent month-on-month from $431.9 billion back in March 2017. However, the big difference shouldn't come as a surprise since April 2017 saw a total of 20 trading days, compared with 23 in the month prior.
