A report published Tuesday by the bank of central banks, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) in Basel, Switzerland, shows how globalisation is surging in the foreign-exchange markets. In April this year, daily turnover in currency markets rose to $3.2 trillion, the bank said. The daily volume is more than the annual economic output of Germany or China and it has risen by 71% from the BIS's last survey in 2004, the largest jump in volume since the bank began conducting its benchmark survey in 1989.
The BIS said technology was a big factor in triggering the explosion of currency trading, with automated trading models allowing investors to continually engage in small moves in currencies. "A significant expansion in the activity of investor groups including hedge funds" as well as individual investors also contributed to the increase," it said. Emerging-market currencies were involved in almost 20% of all transactions in April. The US dollar remains the world's pre-eminent currency.
