Did the Fed rate hike shake up spread levels, or was it no surprise for markets? Let’s find out with the Dukascopy Spike Controller. Euro/Dollar’s spreads have averaged at point 37 pips over the past 24 hours, peaking at 2.7 pips yesterday. Euro has gained a considerable 1.32% against the Buck, to post the daily high and low difference of 140 pips. Fed’s rate statement hasn’t had the most pressure on the spreads here – both of the sides were 2.7 pips apart yesterday at a half past noon GMT during the US data run. The Cable’s daily average spread is slightly South of the 1 pip mark and maximum separation has been 4.6 pips. Pound/Dollar gained more than 1% or 132 pips yesterday to reach the daily high of 1 2310. Spreads were sent higher by the Fed’s announcement, but 4.6 pips is the most you should have been charged. And last up is the Dollar/Yen, which has long term average and maximum spreads of point 31 and 4.1 pips respectively. Last 24 hours have been bearish for the Buck, the pair has plummeted by 1.66% or almost 200 pips. Spreads peaked during the Fed’s announcement here, but make sure your broker hasn’t used this news event as an excuse to charge you more than 4.1 pips. I’m Jessica Walker and this was the primary Spike Controller for Thursday, but do stay tuned for our hourly updates.
