FX broker Exness reported a slight decrease in its trading volumes for the month of September 2023 as the market
environment stabilised following a period of high volatility.
Exness’ traders transacted a total of $4.43 trillion, which is lower on a monthly basis by two percent from a record
of $4.52 trillion in August 2023. The figure was however higher by 62 percent from year-ago levels when weighed
against $2.74 trillion in September 2022.
The consolidation of trading volumes is rather usual given a downtick in volatility and market drivers. By comparison,
August featured more activity, as investors traded frantically in response to the recent developments about the Russia
-Ukraine war, central banks’ policy and subsiding inflation, among other headlines.
Overall, both retail and institutional venues all reported lackluster metrics for the month, which makes Exness’ static
reading a positive.
The number of active clients has also been off the charts, having crossed the 653,593 mark for the first time in the
group’s 15-year history. This was up 4.5 percent from 625,626 in the month earlier. On a year-over-year basis, the
number of active clients showed a remarkable 77 percent increase compared to September 2022’s 368,151 active
clients.
Activity on Exness’ trading platform has been consolidating as the bull run in the third quarter created a profitable
opportunity for industry players, from major venues to an array of retail-focused FX brokerages.
Exness’ average trading volume in 2023 was above the $3 trillion mark so far due to frenzied buying and selling activities.
The uptick in volumes also comes as Exness, which is authorised by the FCA as an IFPRU €730K firm, continues to
restructure its business.
Earlier in September, the Cyprus-based brokerage arm of Exness has been named the Best Global Multi-asset Broker of
2023 at the Forex Expo Dubai. This award highlights Exness’s position as a leading player in the global financial landscape.
Stepping up as the Titanium Sponsor for this year’s event, Exness orchestrated two exclusive sessions to offer attendees a
profound understanding of the prevailing financial market trends. Damian Bunce, Exness Chief Customer Officer, spearheaded
a session, stating, “Liquidity Fragmentation and the Impact of Transparency,” while Wael Makarem, Exness Financial Markets
Strategists Lead, helmed the “Level Up Your Trading with Automated Systems” seminar.
