FX volumes on EBS platform topped $200 billion on "Brexit" Friday

Reuters - UK Focus

LONDON, June 28 (Reuters) - Currency trading platform EBS saw daily volumes at least double to top $200 billion on Friday in the frenzied market reaction to Britain's shock decision to leave the European Union, a source close to the company told Reuters on Tuesday.

The source gave no further details. Volumes for the ICAP (LSE: IAP.L - news) -owned platform, the main venue for banks and other institutions to trade the euro, yen and Swiss franc against the dollar, compare to a daily average of $90 billion over past 12 months.

Spot trading in currencies on platforms owned by EBS's competitor Thomson Reuters (Dusseldorf: TOC.DU - news) trebled to $258 billion on Friday, said Thomson Reuters, amid sharp swings in the pound and other major pairs after the results of the UK referendum.
