A combination of high volatility across financial markets and the reliability of our award-winning PureDeal platform helped our clients produce a staggering 5.1 million trades in October.
The current financial climate means world markets are experiencing unprecedented levels of volatility in areas including indices, shares, forex and commodities, and this in turn helped to produce record levels of activity through our PureDeal dealing platform last month.
Why so many trades?
Forex trading has been a notable driver of recent trading activity across our range of global brands, as the ongoing volatility in global economies has led to unprecedented interest rate cuts around the globe. After trading within striking distance of parity with the US dollar in July, the Australian dollar now has a lot of ground to make up before reaching the US$0.90 level again.
Whether you believe that the AUD has hit the bottom and we will see it rally, or if you think there is further scope for renewed selling, you can choose your position with IG Markets. We have a extensive range of over 50 currency pairs, including Spot and Forward rates at extremely competitive spreads. Find out more about our Forex Service.
Cutting-edge technology
PureDeal has been specially designed to reliably process large numbers of trades. The platform features superior technology – including super-fast execution, a live Reuters news feed and market-leading charting package – round-the-clock dealing and support, plus a huge range of markets.
Highly volatile markets can present the opportunity for a sudden move in your favour as well as against, and we also offer a full compass of guaranteed and non-guaranteed Stop and Limit Orders as part of our Risk Management service.
