FxPro announces  the operating metrics for Q3 and there are a few interesting numbers. Trading volume has reached $302 billion, a 32.5% rise since Q3 2010 and 3.2% above Q2 2011.Â
Unsurprisingly, EUR/USD is the most traded pair, with GBP/USD in the second place. What’s more interesting is that AUD/USD took the third place. Given the high volatility of the Aussie and the shallow movements in the yen, this trend will likely continue.
For more figures, here is the official press release:
