This is the Main Spike Controller. I’m Imogen Comrie with the benchmark interbank price stats so you can make sure you’re broker has been staying honest.
First up is the Euro/Dollar and it has long term average and maximum spreads of point 33 and 3.7 pips respectively.
The pair moved North by point 67% or 84 pips yesterday, but it has since moved sharply down from the high of 1 2699.
The ECB Monetary Policy Announcement sent the spreads higher yesterday at 11:45 AM, so let’s find out what happened.
Both of the sides were separated for a while at this time, but you shouldn’t have seen a gap bigger than 3.7 pips.
Both the 1 and 4 hour averages are slightly below 1 pip for the Pound/Dollar. Maximum of 4.3 pips was recorded during the last 4 hours.
Last 24 hours have been bearish for the Cable, it has declined by point 68% or 110 pips to hit the low of 1 6066.
UK Services PMI release was out today at 8:30 in the morning and that’s the time of the peak daily spread.
Spreads were elevated for a number of ticks, but you shouldn’t have seen a gap bigger than 4.3 pips.
And last up for this report is the Dollar/Yen. All three averages are slightly above point 3 pips and daily peak is 2.9 pips.
Yesterday’s decline was followed by a surge measuring at point 93% or 100 pips.
Spreads were higher than usual yesterday at a half past noon GMT when the US jobless claims were out, but make sure your broker hasn’t increased spreads artificially above the daily max of 2.9 pips.
You’ve been watching the Primary Spike Controller for Friday. These stats are updated on an hourly basis throughout the day so stay tuned.
