Forex results - IG Group reports year-end, (healthy) volumes for FXCM and Alpari

July 20, 2011 - PRLog -- LeapRate’s Forex Industry News – A number of interesting announcements over the last week in the Forex world. Specifically:

1) IG Group 2011 Year-End Results. First, note that IG Group has a May 31 year end. While IG Group gave us a summary of Q4 and year-end results back at the beginning of June, the company yesterday put out more details on the year.

2) Trading Volumes. FXCM (June ’11 - $389 billion) and Alpari (May ’11 - $210 billion). FXCM has made it a very (positive!) habit of publicly announcing its monthly trading volume numbers and some other related stats, fairly soon after each month end. (One of the reasons they are on our LeapRate Approved List of Forex firms).
