Check your broker’s price feed quality by watching the main Dukascopy Spike Controller providing you with the benchmark interbank price data for Thursday. I`m Imogen Comrie.
Euro/dollar’s spreads have averaged at point 32 pips during the last 24 hours, peaking at 14.1 pips.
Rate has been moving sharply in both directions and the biggest move is a decline of point 76% or 96 pips.
Spreads were volatile yesterday at 7 PM GMT during the release of the US FOMC Monetary policy meeting minutes as the rate surged to the high of 1 26, but you shouldn’t have seen a gap bigger than 14.1 pips.
Moving on to the Cable, long term average and maximum spreads are 1.22 and 11.2 pips respectively.
Daily high and low difference of 90 pips was recorded during a decline of point 57%.
The rate spiked yesterday at 7 PM GMT here as well and that’s the time of the biggest daily spread, but the max of 11.2 pips lasted only a single tick.
And wrapping up this report is Dollar/Yen. Daily average is point 41 pips and peak separation has been 14.1 pips.
Greenback has been moving sharply up against the Yen and this pair has gained a total of 1.36% or 160 pips.
Rate movement spiked yesterday at 7 PM GMT here as well, sending the spreads higher, but make sure your broker hasn’t increased them artificially above the daily max of 14.1 pips.
That’s it for Thursday’s primary Spike Controller. We`ll be updating these stats every hour, so stay tuned.
