Broker Review – is eToro a Good Broker? Here’s what you Need to Know

Being able to tap into different markets worldwide requires you to often use an online broker. Long gone are the days where you needed to call your broker and place a trade over the phone. In today's fast-moving markets, traders and investors can simply access all of their financials with a few clicks. On the other hand, this entails that you'll be trusting this broker with your trading activity. From online safety all the way to fast executions, there are many aspects to look for when choosing a broker. In this article, we're going to look at Etoro, an online broker that managed to establish itself as one prominent broker. In this Etoro review, we're going to see the good, the bad, and the ugly.

So buckle up, grab a drink, and let's see if eToro is worth it to trade cryptos and other assets.

What is eToro Broker?

eToro is a social trading platform that started operating back in 2007. When we say "social trading", this means that traders have the ability to look at other users' trade setups, discuss and ask questions in a forum-like community. The platform offers access to stocks, commodities, indices, and crypto. This is done in a CFD setting.

CFDs or contract for difference is a type of trading that allows traders to profit from the price fluctuation of the underlying asset, without owning it. This allows traders to worry less about keeping the asset, and focus more on their trading strategies. Of course, this entails that security and good management is an important factor when trusting a broker. Many traders lost big amounts of money due to mismanagement from brokers in the past. That's why regulators tend to enforce strict measures to make sure that those events don't happen.

It is worth noting that eToro has not only been in the market for more than 14 years but also as valued in their last funding round at around USD 10 Billion. The company is planning to go public, and this alone instigates trust and solid business ethics.

Is eToro a Good Broker?

In order to assess whether a broker is good or not, there are a lot of areas to check. Traders always seek a solid platform to trade on, low fees, fast execution, and reliable customer support. With eToro, they seem to nail most aspects. That's why we're going to divide the positive and the negative aspects, while specifically go into the details and break down each area.

What's GOOD about eToro?

  • Easy to use Platform: If you are new to the trading game, eToro is the perfect place to start. Their platform is super-easy to use. With a few clicks, you can place a trade with little to no previous experience. It's basically like using facebook for the very first time, but in the trading world.
  • Good support: eToro's support team is very professional. They will alway reply with a helpful and tailored response, rather than an automated message.
  • A wide variety of assets: Most of the times, you will find a good broker and decide to start trading with them, only to find out after a long KYC process that they don't offer the stocks, crypto or other assets which you were looking to trade. eToro on the other hand offers a wide variety of assets to choose from. Specifically, they offer more than 3,000 instrument to trade from.
  • Low deposit requirements: You can start trading with eToro with as low as USD 50. The barriers to entry are too low to ignore. Most of the times, brokers require large amounts to deposit in order to start trading. This defeats the purpose of testing a live account with a broker, and see the real trading experience. With eToro, you can easily do that by depositing a dinner's bill.

What's BAD about eToro?

  • Expensive fees: Yes that's right, when a broker doesn't charge commissions on your trading activities, he's going to probably take his profits from somewhere else. Spreads on eToro are known to be slightly higher than industry standards. But unless you are someone who trades frequently and with high leverage, this shouldn't be a big problem.
  • Bad UX for charting: It is true that eToro is a trading platform, but the charting tools that they offer has very bad UX. Other than it being "ugly", it most of the times lags, doesn't save chart setting and can be annoying for multi-screen traders. It is advisable to chart and do technical analysis elsewhere, and then come to the platform to place trade setups.
  • Slippage: Like most CFD brokers, eToro suffers sometimes from slippage. For those who don't know, slippage is the event where a trader tries to open/close a position, but the order fails to be placed. This is most of the times due to abnormal volatility on the market. Although understandable from the broker's side, traders can lose BIG TIME when they decide to close a profitable position, but the market starts falling against their setup and the broker doesn't take their orders.
  • Limited leverage: If you are someone who day trades and rely on short-term trades, you will barely find any opportunities with eToro. Because of their low leverage offerings, most trades should aim for the medium to long term. Stocks can maximum be at 20x leverage, while FX are set to 200x for some, and even less for others. For Cryptos, it is around 10-20x at best. On top of that, this is all subject to change overnight with no further notice in times of high volatility in the market.

Conclusion - Should I use eToro to Trade?

If you are looking for an easy-to-use platform where you can trade hassle-free, eToro might be a good start for you. Their community is always active and is incentivized to regularly publish good trade ideas. This is thanks to their Copy-trade system that rewards good traders and community influencers with a percentage of the profits from their following, from eToro's profit share. Additionally, their low barriers to entry make it attractive for first-time traders to tap into the investment world.

Disclaimer: CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 67% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work, and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.

Everything You Need To Know About A Crypto CFD Broker

CFD means 'Contract for difference,' and it's a contract where a trader and a CFD broker exchange the difference between an asset's buying and selling price. Crypto CFD trading enables investors to earn profits through price movements of assets, which they don't own. Buyers and sellers calculate profits through price differences between when they open contracts and when they exit them.

CFD brokers are the link between traders and the financial market. They provide platforms to facilitate trading, and investors use these platforms to access the market. CFDs have grown popular over the years due to the opportunity to go long or short on assets and profit from price differences without buying the security. Interested parties can speculate on various securities or derivatives with CFD platforms, bringing a potential win or loss. When assets gain value, holders can choose to sell them and profit from the difference.

How Does Crypto CFD Trading Work?

Traders speculate on various assets by predicting a price growth or decline on numerous assets. For example, traders can predict a price growth on gold, and if gold eventually gains value, they would profit on the new price difference. On the other hand, buyers can also go short on assets and profit from the asset if it falls. Going short means that a trader predicts a price fall and sells the asset to buy at a lower price.

It's safe to note that CFDs allow leveraging, enabling traders to control the full position of an asset even if they have not paid the total cost. This is quite different from traditional financial markets like the stock exchange, where you need to pay the total price of an asset to control the full position. Leveraging allow investors to diversify investments and potentially earn more when profits come to play.

Possible losses are also calculated using the total position for leveraging, which means that you could have losses higher than your total deposit, depending on your leverage. Let's say a trader leveraged on USD 300 of Bitcoin and has only paid 5% of the total cost - when profits and losses come to play, it can lead to a large margin for either profit and loss. This is why leveraging is advised for only professional and experienced traders to prevent substantial losses.

How To Trade With CFDs

The first step to start CFD trading is choosing the market you want to trade on. Some of the markets include commodities, indices, currencies and many others. After choosing your market, the next step is deciding to go long or short. This process needs a lot of research and other trading tools to help weigh the possibility of price growth or decline.

The difference between the price you are buying and selling is the spread, and this step usually determines if you would make profits or not. Selecting your trade size is determined by the instrument you are trading, and you can also decide to leverage and control a position higher than your deposit. When leveraging, all you need is a margin; a margin is a price you need to pay before controlling a full position.

After creating a position, adding a stop loss would help traders control losses when the price difference is not what they speculated on. Although this step is not compulsory, it allows traders to monitor price movements, leading to significant losses. When you want to end the trade, you can easily close your trade. CFDs are not available for some countries, and it's crucial to know your country's stance on the instrument before initiating a trade.

Cryptocurrencies and CFDs: Analyzing the Intersection of Two Growing Trends

Cryptocurrencies and Contract for Difference (CFD) trading are two fast-growing financial trends. Cryptocurrencies like as Bitcoin and Ethereum have received a lot of attention and popularity, whereas CFDs provide a versatile and easy option to trade a variety of financial assets.

In this article, we will investigate the relationship between cryptocurrencies and CFDs, looking at how these two developments overlap and examining the benefits and considerations for traders and investors. Individuals may make informed decisions when navigating the fascinating world of bitcoin trading via CFDs by understanding the dynamics of this convergence.

What are cryptocurrencies?

Cryptocurrencies are digital or virtual currencies that use cryptography to safeguard financial transactions, control unit formation, and verify asset transfers. Bitcoin, which debuted in 2009, was the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, and it was quickly followed by a slew of others, including Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple.

Cryptocurrencies run on decentralized networks, often utilizing blockchain technology, which provides transaction transparency and security. The cryptocurrency market has grown at an exponential rate, drawing both individual and institutional investors.

Understanding CFD Trading

CFD trading entails betting on the price movements of a variety of financial assets, including equities, indices, commodities, and, more recently, cryptocurrencies. CFDs are derivative products that enable traders to profit from price changes without actually owning the underlying asset.

CFD traders enter into a contract with a broker to swap the difference in the value of an asset from the time the contract is opened to the time the contract is closed. Because of this flexibility, traders can profit from both rising and falling markets.

The Cryptocurrency and CFD Convergence

The combination of cryptocurrencies and CFDs has created new opportunities for traders and investors. Individuals can benefit from the volatility and potential profits of the cryptocurrency market without directly holding the digital assets by trading cryptocurrencies using CFDs. CFDs allow traders to speculate on cryptocurrency price movements, allowing them to go long or short based on market predictions.

The Advantages of Trading Cryptocurrencies with CFDs

Trading cryptocurrency via CFDs has a number of advantages. For starters, CFDs give traders access to a diverse choice of cryptocurrencies, allowing them to diversify their portfolios. Furthermore, CFDs provide leverage, allowing traders to multiply their positions and potentially boost their earnings.

Furthermore, CFDs offer flexibility in terms of trade execution because they may be started and cancelled quickly, allowing for quick reactions to market fluctuations. CFD trading platforms frequently include complex trading tools, real-time market data, and risk management features, which improve the trading experience and help traders make informed decisions.

Considerations and Potential Risks

While trading cryptocurrencies via CFDs offers benefits, it is critical to be aware of the hazards involved. Cryptocurrency markets are extremely volatile, and price shifts can occur quickly, resulting in significant gains or losses.

The leverage available in CFD trading magnifies these risks by multiplying wins and losses. Traders must carefully limit their risk exposure and use risk management tactics like as stop-loss orders and position diversification.

Investor Protection and the Regulatory Environment

The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies and CFDs differs by jurisdiction. Cryptocurrencies are frequently subject to different legislation and regulatory frameworks than traditional financial instruments.

CFD trading is similarly regulated differently depending on the country. It is critical for traders and investors to understand their various jurisdictions' regulatory obligations and protections. Transparency is ensured by using a recognized and regulated CFD broker.

Education and market research

Traders and investors must emphasize education and market research to properly handle the junction between cryptocurrencies and CFDs. It is critical to understand the basics of cryptocurrencies, their underlying technology, and the variables that impact their price movements.

Furthermore, maintaining up to date on market news, trends, and regulatory developments is critical for making sound trading decisions. Traders should also become acquainted with the features of CFD trading platforms, such as order types, risk management tools, and CFD-specific trading methods.

Technical Analysis and Risk Management

Technical analysis is essential when trading cryptocurrencies using CFDs. Traders can discover probable entry and exit positions by using numerous technical indicators, chart patterns, and price analysis approaches.

Additionally, risk management should be prioritized to avoid substantial losses. To properly manage risk, traders can use tactics such as establishing stop-loss orders, employing suitable position sizing, and diversifying their portfolios.

Future Prospects and Continued Growth

The convergence of cryptocurrencies and CFDs is expected to continue as both phenomena achieve widespread acceptance. With greater institutional engagement and the creation of crypto-related financial products, the cryptocurrency industry is fast evolving.

To meet the increased demand for cryptocurrency trading, CFD trading companies are expanding their offers. The junction of cryptocurrencies and CFDs will become more accessible and secure for traders and investors as regulatory frameworks become more defined and investor protections are strengthened.

Crypto CFD Trading: A Solution for Non-Technical Traders with Analytical Skills

Crypto CFD (Contract for Difference) trading has emerged as a popular option for individuals who want to participate in the cryptocurrency market without delving into the technical complexities of specific crypto projects. This type of trading offers a perfect solution for non-technical traders who possess analytical skills but may not have an in-depth understanding of the technical intricacies of specific crypto projects.

The approach allows traders to focus on technical analysis and fundamental factors while benefiting from the price movements of cryptocurrencies.

Simplified Exposure to Cryptocurrencies

Crypto CFD trading provides an avenue for traders to gain exposure to the price movements of various cryptocurrencies without owning the underlying assets. Instead of dealing with the complexities of wallets, private keys, and blockchain technology, CFD traders can simply speculate on the price direction of cryptocurrencies. This simplification allows traders to focus on analyzing market trends, chart patterns, and other technical indicators to make informed trading decisions.

Leveraging Technical Analysis

Technical analysis is a widely used approach to analyze financial markets, including cryptocurrencies. Traders who are familiar with technical analysis can apply their knowledge and skills to crypto CFD trading. By studying price charts, identifying patterns, and utilizing various technical indicators, traders can make predictions about future price movements. Crypto CFD platforms often provide a wide range of technical analysis tools, making it easier for non-technical traders to utilize their analytical skills effectively.

Focus on Fundamental Factors

While technical analysis plays a significant role in crypto CFD trading, traders can also consider fundamental factors that drive the cryptocurrency market. Factors such as news events, market sentiment, regulatory developments, and macroeconomic indicators can impact cryptocurrency prices. Non-technical traders who have a basic understanding of fundamental analysis can incorporate these factors into their trading strategies, allowing them to make more informed decisions and potentially capitalize on market trends.

Access to a Diverse Range of Cryptocurrencies

Crypto CFD trading platforms typically offer access to a wide range of cryptocurrencies, including major coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum, as well as altcoins with varying market capitalizations. This diversity allows traders to explore multiple opportunities and diversify their portfolios. Non-technical traders can take advantage of the price volatility in different cryptocurrencies without needing to understand the intricate technical details of each project.

Risk Management and Trading Tools

Crypto CFD platforms often provide risk management tools that can help traders manage their positions effectively. Features like stop-loss orders, take-profit orders, and leverage options allow traders to define their risk appetite and protect their capital. These tools enable non-technical traders to implement risk management strategies and control potential losses, enhancing the overall trading experience.

Continuous Market Access and Flexibility

Crypto CFD trading operates 24/7, providing traders with continuous market access. This flexibility allows individuals to trade at their preferred times and adjust their strategies based on market conditions. Non-technical traders can take advantage of price fluctuations and execute trades according to their analysis, regardless of their time zone or availability during traditional market hours.

Conclusion

The combination of cryptocurrencies and CFDs allows traders and investors to participate in the volatile cryptocurrency market without physically owning digital assets. Cryptocurrency trading using CFDs provides benefits such as portfolio diversification, leverage, and flexibility. However, it is critical to comprehend the dangers of bitcoin volatility and leverage.

Thorough market research, risk management, and selecting reliable CFD brokers are all necessary for success. Traders can negotiate this intriguing convergence and potentially capitalize on the opportunities given by cryptocurrencies and CFDs by remaining informed and constantly extending their expertise.

The idea of digital ownership has been revolutionised by Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). NFTs stand for distinctive digital assets like artwork, collectibles, or virtual real estate, as opposed to cryptocurrencies, which are interchangeable and of similar worth. NFTs are constructed using blockchain technology, which offers immutability and verifiable evidence of ownership.

In the art sector, NFTs have become popular because they allow creators to tokenize their works and sell them directly to consumers. NFTs have also invaded a number of other fields besides art, such as virtual reality, music, and gaming. NFTs have a high demand as digital assets because of their rarity and verifiable genuineness.

Trading Price Movements with CFDs

Without holding the underlying asset, investors can speculate on price changes of a variety of financial assets, such as stocks, commodities, and cryptocurrencies, through contract for difference (CFD) trading. With the help of CFDs, traders now have a versatile and leveraged trading tool that allows them to profit from both rising and declining markets.

Since traders and brokers enter into a contract to exchange the difference in the asset's price from when the contract is opened to when it is closed, CFD trading does away with the necessity for physical ownership. This adaptability and the capacity to trade on leverage draw investors looking to gain exposure to several markets on a budget.

The Interaction of NFTs and CFDs

Despite the fact that NFTs and CFDs operate in different industries, there may be certain areas of overlap that could lead to new business opportunities in the digital economy.

NFTs as Underlying Assets for CFDs: Without the need for ownership, investors can acquire exposure to the value and price swings of these distinctive digital assets by using NFTs as underlying assets for CFD trading. For instance, traders might use CFDs to bet on the price changes of a specific NFT piece, profiting from any prospective increase or decrease in value.

NFTs Improving CFD Trading Platforms

By adding more trading assets, NFTs can improve CFD trading platforms. This growth might draw in a brand-new group of traders eager to investigate the special chances provided by NFTs. NFTs might also act as guarantees or collateral for CFD trades, which might lower risk for both traders and brokers.

Taking Advantage of NFTs for Tokenized Securities

Tokenized securities, which reflect ownership in conventional financial assets, can take advantage of NFTs' special characteristics. Investors can trade fractions of assets by tokenizing securities as NFTs, enabling greater participation and boosting liquidity. Then, by incorporating these tokenized securities into CFD trading, investors can speculate on price changes without having to deal with the complications of traditional security ownership.

NFTs as a Store of Value in CFD Trading: NFTs are prospective stores of value due to their legitimacy and verified scarcity. By adding a new level of risk management and diversification to CFD trading, traders might employ NFTs as collateral or as a hedge against their CFD bets.

Possibilities and Obstacles

In the digital economy, the convergence of NFTs and CFDs offers a number of benefits, but there are also issues that need to be resolved:

Market Liquidity

The NFT market must have enough liquidity for NFTs to be easily incorporated into CFD trading. Since NFT markets are still in their infancy, liquidity for some assets may be restricted. But as the NFT sector expands, liquidity is probably going to get better, making NFTs better suited for incorporation into CFD trading platforms.

Regulatory Considerations

Different jurisdictions have different regulatory frameworks for NFTs and CFDs. In order to safeguard investor safety, avoid market manipulation, and advance transparency, it is imperative to establish clear regulatory frameworks that regulate the trading and integration of NFTs and CFDs.

Risk Management

Because both NFTs and CFDs are highly volatile, effective risk management strategies are necessary. To account for the anticipated price swings and market uncertainty linked to these products, traders and platforms must employ efficient risk mitigation measures.

Technological Infrastructure

Building a solid and expandable technological foundation is necessary to integrate NFTs into CFD trading platforms. To guarantee a flawless user experience for traders, this infrastructure should facilitate the secure storage, transfer, and trading of NFTs.

Education and Awareness

These two factors are essential for fully realizing the potential synergy between NFTs and CFDs. The distinctive traits of NFTs, such as provenance, ownership rights, and market dynamics, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of incorporating them into CFD trading, must be understood by traders.

CFD Trading on Tokenized Securities: Unleashing the Potential of NFTs for Traders

CFD trading on tokenized securities, particularly NFTs, unlocks a world of possibilities for traders seeking to explore the dynamic and rapidly expanding NFT market. Here are 6 ways this type of trading provides them with a unique and exciting avenue to participate in this dynamic and evolving sector.

1. Accessible Participation in the NFT Market

NFTs have disrupted traditional notions of ownership, enabling the tokenization of unique digital assets such as artwork, collectibles, and virtual real estate. CFD trading on NFT stocks offers traders a gateway to the NFT market, allowing them to participate in the potential appreciation of these assets without directly owning them. This accessibility broadens the scope of participation, democratizing the NFT market for traders of all levels of experience and financial capabilities.

2. Diversification and Exposure to Unique Assets

The NFT market encompasses a diverse array of digital assets, ranging from digital art and music to virtual real estate and in-game items. CFDs on NFT stocks empowers traders to diversify their investment portfolios by gaining exposure to a wide range of unique assets. This diversification helps mitigate risks associated with traditional asset classes and unlocks new avenues for potential growth and profit.

3. Capitalizing on NFT Market Volatility

The NFT market is known for its volatility, presenting traders with exciting opportunities for profit. CFD trading allows traders to speculate on the price movements of NFT stocks without owning the underlying assets. Whether the market is experiencing bullish trends, bearish reversals, or sudden price fluctuations, traders can leverage CFDs to take advantage of the volatility and potentially profit from both upward and downward price movements.

4. Flexibility in Trading Strategies

Traders well-versed in various trading strategies can apply their expertise to NFT CFD trading. Technical analysis, chart patterns, and trading indicators can be employed to analyze NFT stock price charts, identify trends, and make informed trading decisions. Traders can utilize strategies such as trend-following, breakout trading, or mean reversion to navigate the market effectively. The flexibility offered by CFD trading allows traders to adapt their strategies to changing market conditions and seize profitable opportunities.

5. Risk Management and Position Control

CFD trading on NFT related securities provides traders with robust risk management tools to protect their capital. With features such as stop-loss orders and take-profit orders, traders can define their risk tolerance levels and automatically exit trades when predetermined price levels are reached. Moreover, the ability to trade with leverage provides traders with increased exposure to NFT stocks' price movements while maintaining control over their positions, allowing for efficient risk management.

6. Market Accessibility and Liquidity

Unlike traditional NFT trading, where liquidity may be limited, CFD trading allows traders to enter and exit positions swiftly, regardless of the availability or liquidity of the underlying NFTs.

Conclusion

In the digital economy, the fusion of NFTs with CFDs creates a fascinating juncture. NFTs promote digital ownership and offer distinctive assets, whilst CFDs provide adaptable trading tools for speculation on price changes. The potential synergy between these two tools can be used to open up new possibilities.

The expansion of the digital finance industry is facilitated by the incorporation of NFTs as underlying assets for CFD trading, the upgrading of CFD trading platforms with NFTs, the tokenization of securities as NFTs, and the use of NFTs as collateral or a store of value in CFD trading.

To effectively utilize the potential of this synergy, however, issues including market liquidity, regulatory concerns, risk management, technology infrastructure, and education must be addressed.

The fusion of NFTs with CFDs is a fascinating new frontier as the digital economy develops. Market participants may traverse this confluence and explore cutting-edge ways to capitalize on the advantages of both NFTs and CFDs, influencing the future of digital finance, by carefully weighing the opportunities and obstacles.

Denmark’s FSA Orders Saxo Bank to Dump Crypto Holdings

Denmark’s financial markets supervisor has demanded that Saxo Bank dump its cryptocurrency holdings. The Danish Financial Supervisory Authority (FSA) stated this in a statement released today (Wednesday), noting that the multi-asset broker’s trading in digital assets for its own accounts falls outside the investment bank’s “lawful area of activity.”

Danish Watchdog Frowns at Saxo Bank

As a bank that specializes in online trading and investment, Saxo Bank offers a wide range of financial products and services, including online trading in stocks, bonds, commodities, forex, contracts for difference, fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies.

According to the FSA, the Copenhagen-based investment bank hedges its crypto assets to match the market risk associated with its digital asset products. However, the regulator noted that trading in crypto is not part of the supported activities listed in Appendix 1 of the Danish Financial Business Act.

“Unregulated trading of crypto assets can create distrust in the financial system, and the Danish FSA finds that legitimising trading in crypto-assets would be unjustified,” the financial watchdog explained. “Thus, the activity cannot be accepted as an ancillary banking activity for reasons of financial stability, cf. section 24 of the Danish Financial Business Act.”

Furthermore, the regulator pointed out that because the European Union’s recently passed crypto regulation, Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA), will only come into enforcement in its entirety on December 30, 2024, crypto trading among financial institutions “remains unregulated for the time being.”

"We naturally take the decision of the Financial Supervisory Authority into account and will read it thoroughly to consider how we otherwise respond to it," Saxo Bank said in a statement shared with Finance Magnates, pointing out that its customers get exposure to cryptocurrencies without owning them.

"With regards to this, we have held a very limited portfolio of cryptocurrencies, solely to hedge a very marginal proportion of risk associated with the facilitation of crypto assets. The vast majority of this exposure is mitigated through exchange-traded and cleared products," the Danish investment bank elaborated. "Therefore, the FSA's decision will have a very limited impact on our business, and our client will not experience any significant changes.”

Saxo Bank’s FX Volume Drops 8% in June

Meanwhile, Saxo Bank on Wednesday released its monthly trading volumes for June 2023, reporting an 8% decline in its forex trading volumes. The volume came in at $119.5 billion, with the daily average falling by 5% to $5.4 billion.

However, compared to the same month last year, the drop in total forex volume in June 2023 is much more significant: the volume went down by 22% from $152.5 billion. Similarly, the daily average volume plummeted by 21% from $6.9 billion.

Since the start of 2022, Saxo Bank’s monthly forex trading volumes have been undulating, finally sinking to $102.8 billion in April, which is the lowest volume since December 2021. However, the volume later picked up, jumping by 27% to $130.5 billion in May, only to drop again last month.

Across all markets, Saxo Bank’s trading volumes weakened by 4% to $391.7 billion, with the monthly volumes from its trading activities in commodities and fixed income slumping by 21% and 13% to $32.1 billion and $6.6 billion, respectively. On the contrary, trading volume in equities strengthened by 2%, rising from $228.2 billion in May to $233.5 billion last month.
