Global Retail FX and CFDs broker Exness kicked off 2021 where it left off in 2020 – with a fairly impressive trading volumes figure for the month of January. Client trading volumes totaled $626.4 billion at Exness in January 2021, down 7% from December’s figure of $673.6 billion but still well ahead of the Exness’ average monthly volumes of $565 billion in 2020.

We understand that, like in recent months, trading activity was well diversified between Exness’ core FX pairs trading offering, equity CFDs which remain quite hot as equity markets continue to see a high historical level of volatility, and commodities which also continue to be volatile.

Despite the slight downturn in volumes, Exness saw a record number of active clients during the month, at 164,862 – well above December’s 145,400 – as the global retail trading phenomenon also came to Exness, which recorded a high level of new client signups during the month.

Exness has its client volumes, client withdrawal figures and agent commissions paid audited each quarter by Deloitte.
