GTX, the institutional FX arm of retail forex broker Gain Capital Holdings Inc (NYSE:GCAP), has reported near-record trading volumes during the month of September, right on the heels of a record August for GTX – quite a surprise given the usually quiet nature of summer currency trading in the institutional world.
GTX reported total trading volumes of $341.7 billion in September or $16.3 billion ADV. On a total volumes basis that was down slightly, by 4%, from August’s record $357.3 billion, but on an average daily volume basis GTX saw volumes up to a record $16.3 billion versus $15.5 billion ADV in August, as there were less trading days in September.
