Keep your broker on a short leash by watching Dukascopy’s Primary Spike Controller. I’m Alex Iszatt with the benchmark interbank price stats.
Euro/Dollar’s long term average spread is point 3 pips and peak separation has been 2.4 pips.
Daily high and low difference of 91 pips was posted during a rise of point 72%, but the rate moved South from the high of 1 2675.
News reports don’t match the time of the peak spread – both of the sides were 2.4 pips apart today at 3:09 in the morning during a rise.
The Cable’s long term average is 1.1 pips and both of the sides were 6 and a half pips apart during the last 4 hours.
Pound/Dollar’s long term volatility is 97 pips and it was recorded as the rate declined by point 6%.
UK Construction PMI was out today at 8:30 in the morning and it sent the spreads higher.
Both of the sides stayed separated for a number of ticks, but you shouldn’t have seen a gap bigger than 6.5 pips.
And last up for this overview is the Dollar/yen, which has long term average and maximum spreads of point 33 and 3.3 pips respectively.
This pair has been moving sharply down from the high, which is just slightly South of the 110 mark and it has dropped by 1.52% or 167 pips.
Spreads peaked yesterday at a quarter past noon GMT as the ADP employment report was out, but make sure your broker hasn’t charged you more than 3.3 pips.
That brings Thursday’s Main Spike Controller to an end. These stats are updated on an hourly basis throughout the day so stay tuned.
