FX news: Official volumes continued to climb in six months to April

The Bank of England, the Federal Reserve and the authorities in Singapore, Japan, Australia and Canada all published their FX volume data for April. The data is published twice each year (apart from the data from Tokyo which is annual) in January and July and shows FX volumes for the preceding October and April respectively. The data for April 2009 year slumped, reflecting the crisis taking hold, but last October’s data showed volumes recovering.
