Forex trading volumes down in Q4

Dec. 12, 2011 - PRLog -- It seems as though Forex trading volumes worldwide will be down in Q4 from earlier-in-the-year levels, barring any wild trading in the few remaining weeks before year-end.

Forex ECN ICAP-EBS's Oct and Nov volumes were both the lowest they've been since April, with Nov volumes ($144.6 billion) lower than every other month in 2011 except Feb, and 11% below 2010 levels.
