Interesting week in the markets…

LMAX Exchange

LMAX Exchange, CEO, David Mercer shares his thoughts on the recent announcements and opinions shared by key industry spokespersons – most notably the UK’s Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne’s Mansion House speech on providing greater regulation and oversight to the FX markets, as well as the FCA’s Chief Executive Martin Wheatley erring on the side of caution over HFT regulation, and finally the Bank of England Governor Mark Carney’s suggestion the UK will be the first to raise interest rates. David speculates this could positivity impact the markets and create more volatility with June and perhaps the summer volumes being better than initially expected.
