In light of the stable market conditions that followed a period of heightened volatility, Exness, the leading global retail forex and CFD broker headquartered in Cyprus, reported a slight 1.1 percent decrease in trading volume for June 2023.

The total trading volume for the month amounted to $3.32 trillion, compared to the previous month's $3.36 trillion. Despite this decline, it's worth noting that June's performance marks the third-highest for Exness in the first half of 2023, with March's $3.39 trillion being the most active month.

This decrease in trading volume is not unusual, given the market's tendency to consolidate when volatility subsides after periods of low market activity. Furthermore, both retail brokers and institutional trading platforms experienced subdued performance in months other than June.

This trend was particularly evident in May 2023 when heightened trading activity was driven by investor reactions to events such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict, central bank policies, and concerns about inflation.

Interestingly, while Exness saw a dip in trading volume overall, the number of active clients in June exhibited a remarkable increase, reaching a record-breaking 531,511, reflecting a 3.2% growth compared to the previous month. Additionally, this multi-asset broker reported a remarkable 64% surge in active clients, with a total of 323,216 as of June 2022.

Moreover, Exness achieved a new post-consolidation record at the end of the second quarter of 2023, with trading volume consistently exceeding $3 trillion for five consecutive months. This achievement aligns with Exness' ongoing efforts to restructure its business, which earned the company recognition from the FCA as an IFPRU entity with a capital of €730,000.
