US futures trading to surge 14% in 2010, analysts say
Research company Tabb Group publishes a report today predicting that US futures trading will rise 14% in 2010 as interest rate volume recovers.
The consultancy attributes 2009’s 23% volume decline to stricter risk controls among brokers and the closure of “more than 2,000” hedge and proprietary trading funds.
Andy Nybo, author of the study, said “Trading activity is beginning to stabilise, with pockets of strength in core asset classes such as energy, commodities and foreign exchange beginning to acclerate.”
