Your Bourse | iFX EXPO Dubai | Why Volatility Causes Spread Spikes for Brokers and Traders

Описание: Welcome to the Your Bourse iFX EXPO Dubai interview series with Elina Pedersen, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Your Bourse.

In this conversation, Elina speaks with Jonathan Brewer, Founder of JT Markets, about how liquidity dynamics are evolving as retail trading volumes continue to grow across foreign exchange and precious metals.

One of the most important structural shifts in the market today is that the retail trading market has become larger than the institutional market’s ability to absorb that volume. During periods of volatility, banks widen their pricing at the same time. When this happens, liquidity aggregation cannot compress spreads in the usual way, which can lead to sudden spread spikes for brokers and their clients.

Jonathan explains why this dynamic is becoming more common and why brokers must adapt their liquidity strategies as market concentration increases around assets such as gold.

Topics discussed in this interview include:

Why the retail trading market has grown beyond institutional liquidity capacity

• How volatility events cause spreads to widen across liquidity providers

• Why concentration of trading activity in precious metals creates structural pressure

• How brokers are becoming more aware of liquidity realities

• Why liquidity providers must adapt their pricing and filtering strategies

• Why strong liquidity relationships are critical during periods of market stress

This interview is relevant for brokers, liquidity providers, fintech teams, and trading professionals looking to understand how execution, volatility, and liquidity interact in modern foreign exchange markets.
