Spike Controller

It’s Tuesday, 17th of November and time for the primary Dukascopy Spike Controller providing you with the benchmark interbank price data. I`m Monica Gibson.
Euro/Dollar’s long term average spread is point 26 pips and maximum separation has been 1.4 pips.
Last 24 hours have been bearish for the Euro and the pair has declined by close to 1% or 103 pips to hit the low of 1 0643.
Spreads have been generally calm and the maximum of only 1.4 pips took place just minutes ago as German ZEW survey was released.
The Cable’s spreads have averaged at point 93 pips during the last 24 hours, peaking at 10.6 pips recently.
Daily volatility of 66 pips was posted as the rate declined by point 43%, but it rose sharply during the last 4 hours.
UK CPI release rocked the spreads for this pair today at 9:30 in the morning, so let’s see what happened.
Both of the sides separated for a number of ticks, but 10.6 pips is the most you should have been charged.
Last up is the Dollar/Yen, which has a long term average and maximum spreads of point 33 and 2.9 pips respectively.
Greenback has been moving up against the Yen and this pair has gained point 42% or 52 pips.
Spreads have been mostly narrow and the max of 2.9 pips took place yesterday at 7:38 PM as both sides went in their separate ways for a single tick.
That’s it for now, but we`ll be updating these stats on an hourly basis, so check back.
