What is the daily turnover in the Forex market?

The volume of trades that are being executed daily in the Foreign Exchange Market is rising. The average daily volume for the month of October in North America was more than one trillion Dollars. Daily Forex volume turnover in the United Kingdom has also been on the rise, reaching record highs in April of last year. That month, the daily average turnover for the Forex market was 2.7 trillion Dollars. In Japan the daily Forex turnover is rising as well with 373 billion Dollars exchanging hands on a daily basis.

The data shows that more traders are being attracted to the Forex market every day and the Forex stays as the financial market with the highest expansion rate. However, we must keep in mind that the rising figures in the Forex daily turnover is also being caused in great part by the rising volatility. The divergent monetary policies between the FED and the European Central Bank has fueled the current volatility that we are seeing in the markets and that is why volumes are also rising.
