¹ CLS data solutions are based on trades submitted to CLSSettlement. The data is adjusted to equate to the same reporting convention used by the Bank for International Settlements and the semi-annual foreign exchange committee market reports. These surveys only report one side of any trade, and only the far leg of FX swap trades, to avoid double counting the total amount of trades.

Data:

Access to over 50% of global FX volumes

Aggregated executed trade data for 18 currencies across 33 major currency pairs
