Volume Metrics at Japanese DMM Securities Race Higher by 49% in October

According to information obtained by Forex Magnates, trading volumes at the second biggest Japanese brokerage, DMM Securities, skyrocketed by almost 50% in October. After a more than healthy rise in trading activity in September, this is the third straight month of increases for the brokerage and the highest figure since July 2013.

Customers of the brokerage have massively engaged the vibrant foreign Exchange market to contribute a total of $839.5 billion in October.

The second major batch of monetary policy easing measures announced by the Bank of Japan on the last trading day of the month have most certainly contributed to this spectacular rise in trading volumes.
