BIS: US Tariff Shock Drives Global Forex Trading Volume to Record High
According to Jinse Finance, data from the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) shows that as U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff policies triggered market turmoil, global foreign exchange trading volume soared to a historic high this year, with average daily trading volume reaching $9.5 trillion in April. In its quarterly review released on Monday, the bank cited data from its triennial survey, stating that the impact of tariffs was "substantial," leading to an unexpected depreciation of the U.S. dollar and accounting for more than $1.5 trillion of the average daily over-the-counter trading volume in April. The report shows that overall foreign exchange trading volume increased by more than a quarter compared to the last survey in 2022, surpassing the estimated peak during the market turmoil caused by the pandemic in March 2020. This data is an update based on the preliminary survey results released in September.

The inventory warning from Acer’s CEO has further convinced him that the memory cycle has already peaked.
