Record November Volumes

In a statement issued by the brokerage today, it was revealed that the main driver for the record volumes was the company’s strong domestic growth and an uptick in volatility. Drawing from industry research by Finance Magnates, ICM stated that the reported monthly volume makes IC Markets the largest Australian owned and operated entity and positions the company on the cusp of the top five global brokers.

Commenting on the positive results, IC Markets Managing Director, Andrew Budzinski, said: “2016 has been the biggest year on record for the company. Closing out the year on record volumes is testament that our strategy of focusing on the domestic market and customer service is paying off.”
