After the US dollar reached two-year highs in November, institutional FX volumes saw significant growth. A perfect example of this is FXSpotStream, a provider of multibank FX aggregation services, which came close to achieving record results last month.

FXSpotStream Reports ADV Above $100B in November

The total average daily volume (ADV) in November reached $100.3 billion, showing a substantial recovery from October's $93.1 billion, which had tested the lowest levels since July. This figure was just shy of the record $101.9 billion reported in September.

In spot trading, November outperformed the previous best month ($72.3 billion vs $72 billion). The difference came from the “Other ADV” category, where November brought in $28 billion compared to September's $30 billion.

Year-over-year, the increase was substantial at over 43%. Notably, this growth aligns with improved ADV results reported by other major FX trading venues, including Euronext FX, 360T, Cboe, and Click 365, which all reported volume increases in October. Highlights include Cboe’s spot FX volumes crossing $1 trillion and Europe’s 360T seeing an uptick to $664 billion.
