PrimeXM Monthly Turnover Rebounds in September, Gold Volume Lags

Swiss-founded technology company, PrimeXM, a provider of FX bridge aggregation and institutional hosting solutions, saw a strong rebound in its aggregated trading volumes for September 2020, which came off multi-month lows it hit in the prior month. However, with trading volatility in the bullion markets seemingly hard to come by heading into the last quarter of the year, gold volumes failed to best its September equivalent.

In particular, PrimeXM clients transacted a total of $936.97 billion last month, which represents an 8 percent increase month-over-month when compared to $868.08 billion back in August. This was the best figure for monthly volumes since it hit the $1.15 trillion milestone in March and $939.35 billion in July.

In terms of its average daily volume (ADV), PrimeXM reported $42.59 billion. This represented a jump of 3 percent month-on-month from $41.33 billion that was reported the previous month. The highest daily trading volume of the month was recorded on September 21 with a $60.68 billion turnovers.
