Moscow Exchange (MOEX), Russia’s largest Institutional Trading venue, has just released its trading volumes for the month ending March 2017, having managed to sustain its continued momentum in light of a more volatile market trading atmosphere.
During March 2017, MOEX’s total FX market turnover again secured a consecutive monthly growth to RUB 36.7 trillion, jumping by 27.0 percent month-over-month from RUB 28.9 trillion in February 2017 – the latest reading corroborates a strong uptick in volumes at the exchange after what had been a lackluster start to the year in January.

March 2017’s volumes at MOEX were also higher than its March 2016 equivalents, as the venue’s FX market turnover rose from RUB 30.8 trillion in the year prior, or 19.2 percent year-over-year.
