The new record reverses Saxo Bank’s three months of consecutive declines in trading volumes that started in June.

Contributory Factors

Data shared by Saxo Bank shows that the 43% month-over-month (MoM) gain recorded in September was majorly pushed by equities and foreign exchange trading volumes.

On the other hand, forex trading ADV and monthly volumes surged 40% and 34% to $6.7 billion and $146.7 billion, respectively.

Furthermore, commodities and fixed income also contributed to the boost in the overall volume in September as volumes of these instruments shot up significantly in September.

Average daily volume of trading in commodities jumped 38.5% to $1.8 billion, with a corresponding 35.3% increase to $39.5 billion in volume by month-end.

Meanwhile, Saxo Bank Group posted a 41% decline in its half-year 2022 net profit as the figure slumped to DKK 302 million, compared to the previous year’s DKK 512 million.

Founder and Group CEO, Kim Fournais, noted that the Group’s results were not satisfactory and were affected by difficult market conditions during the period.

Moreover, Saxo Bank recently disclosed its intention to become a public company by merging with Disruptive Capital Acquisition Company Limited (DCAC), a blank-check company.

Finance Magnates reported that if the deal pulled through, the merged entity will be listed on the Amsterdam unit of pan-European exchange, Euronext, thereby becoming one of the few publicly-listed brokerages.
