Edgewater Posts Uptick in Precious Metals Volumes

Today’s news follows on from Edgewater Markets recently announcing that it had recorded solid trading volumes for its precious metals product line for the first half of 2020.

As Finance Magnates reported, Edgewater Markets executed $500 million worth of spot gold and silver volumes daily in H1 of 2020. This increase was driven by the company’s expanding low latency matching engine, market-making software and front-end execution system.
