Finance Magnates is gearing up for its Q3 Quarterly Industry Report (QIR), a comprehensive research publication that is slated for release in a matter of weeks. Every quarter, Finance Magnates has kept readers abreast of the latest industry and exchange-related updates, with a number of integral developments transpiring over the past few months.
Greek Turmoil Grips Markets
The global financial industry experienced a number of important stimuli and events during Q3, which extended to both the retail and institutional space. The months of July and August were largely dominated by the deteriorating situation in Europe, namely in Greece, which afflicted the foreign exchange (FX) industry over an extended period as markets grappled with the likelihood of a Greek exit (Grexit) from the Eurozone. Finance Magnates charted the genesis of the Greek fallout and examines the influence of the event on the broader industry.

Female Brokers in Focus
In addition, Finance Magnates researchers analyzed the status of gender equality in the trading realm, focusing on women in the FX industry during Q3. A subsequent analysis features exclusive commentary from some of today's leading female brokers, helping to ascertain whether there exist any advantages for female brokers over their male counterparts.
Recoding Finance
Shifting focus to the cryptocurrency realm, the Q3 report takes a deeper look into the deployment of the Blockchain , a utility long reserved for Bitcoin and other digital currencies. Our researchers examined the utility of the blockchain and its future as a key financial technology across several leading venues, including Nasdaq.

Crisis Brewing?
Lastly, Finance Magnates analyzed the massive stock market crash in China that convulsed equity markets in both Europe and the United States. Our research team explored the causes of the crash, whilst weighing a number of other important macroeconomic factors to see if the crisis was a one time episode or endemic of a larger issue.
