Japanese brokerage group GMO CLICK Securities has just posted its monthly metrics ending in August 2015. The total GMO CLICK volumes reached in August 2015 was ¥1.239 trillion, an increase of 2.43% over the same figure from July 2015.
When looking at the USD equivalent of the total GMO CLICK volumes reached in August, it crossed back above the symbolic $1 trillion mark thanks to the weakening yen.
On a yearly comparison the raise in FX volumes figures is much more impressive, increasing by a whopping 145% from August 2014’s ¥505.691 billion. The month-on-month rise in the total FX figure looks better when considering that August only had 21 trading days while July had 22 trading days in Japan.
The value of Exchange -traded contracts during the month at GMO Click also increased in August to ¥643 million, up from ¥551 billion in July.
Earlier today, GMO’s rival, the Monex Group, reported its business metrics for the month ending August 2015, showing a relative comeback for its FX volumes. The monthly trading value for all subsidiaries of Monex Group Inc totaled $42.2 billion in August, up 9.6% from $38.5 billion in July 2015. DARTs for the Monex Group were also upbeat in August 2015, up 13.3% to 351,104 from 309,814 in July.
