KCG Holdings Interbank dealing platform division Hotspot FX has today released its figures for October 2013, which in congruence with the steady performance among interbank ECNs showed a $1.1 bn increase in ADVs.
These figures represent an increment of $1.1 billion in terms of average daily volumes when compared with last month's $28.7 billion, and signify an overall steady upward direction for Hotspot FX as the year heads into its final quarter, alongside similar performances across other participants within the interbank ECN segment such as those of Thomson Reuters and EBS, which has this week announced the launch of its commercial service.
October Volumes Overview
KCG Hotspot FX market share hit an all-time record high, accounting for 14.6% of publicly reported spot FX volume in October 2013. Month-over-month and year-over-year ADV grew by 3.7% and 30.9% respectively, with a total dollar-value volume of $684.4 billion for the month.
According to the firm, KCG Hotspot was the only reporting venue to post month-over-month and year-over-year growth, while all other venues saw a continuing decline.
Top 5 currency pairs remained unchanged from the prior month. EUR/USD saw the largest month-over-month percentage growth of +2.27%. AUD/JPY gained 4 spots, becoming the top 12th currency pair of the month. EUR/GBP declined by -1.24% from the previous month , while USD/JPY gained +0.35%. Lastly, EUR/CAD re-entered the top 20, replacing USD/TRY from September.
With Europe and North America producing an almost equal volume, Asia accounted for considerably less as depicted here:
A point of interest will be the impact on revenues and results the $128 million non-cash investment made by GETCO in KCG Holdings will have on future accounting periods.
