FXALL DAILY VOLUME TOPS $54 BILLION
Euromoney FX Poll confirms FXall as number one for fifth year running
4 May 2006 - FXall, the world's leading foreign exchange platform, today announced that volumes had exceeded more than $54 billion in a single day of trading last week. Volumes were driven by increased activity from all client segments.
The news comes shortly after FXall announcement that Q12006 had been its busiest quarter ever, with total trading volumes of more than $2.1 trillion. Trading volumes in March were up 53% on March 2005.
Phil Weisberg, CEO, FXall, said: "Breaking through $54 billion in a single day of trading is a tremendous milestone not just for FXall, but for the industry as a whole. When we went live in 2001, the leading platforms were trading a few billion dollars a day. These volumes have risen exponentially as electronic trading enters the mainstream. We are pleased and proud to have been at the forefront of this development."
Separately, FXall has come first in Euromoney's influential FX Poll for the fifth year running. The Euromoney poll is an annual survey that measures the performance of leading foreign exchange banks and service providers. FXall was voted top multibank portal with more than 33.87% of market share, significantly ahead of the 18.1% achieved by the second-placed provider.
