Exness, a EU-regulated forex broker in Cyprus and the UK, saw its trading volume exceeding $2.4 trillion in 2016, posting an annual growth of 1.6%, according to data published on the broker’s website. This is the highest reported so far. In fact, its trading volume has been on a constant increase over the years, starting from $8.7 billion in 2009.
In December alone, the broker generated a trading volume of $201.2 billion. This is the second lowest figure in H2 2016, but is still higher than any monthly value reported in H1.
December volume fell 5.2% compared to the previous month and posted a growth of 11.8% over the year.
The number of active clients trading with Exness last month also fell from a month earlier by 5.3% to 38,417. However, if compared year-on-year, the figure represents an increase of 5.2%.
