Exclusive: ATFX reports 37% growth in Q1 trading volumes owed in part to Covid-19 volatility

Jeffrey Siu

The positive results we registered in Q1 were driven partly by increased volatility in the global financial markets. The state of these markets has been an underlying factor in ATFX’s uptick in client trading activity. The launch of new products such as Gold, natural gas futures and 3M stock CFDs have also played a pivotal role in boosting our results. We saw an increase in our earnings in Q1 and are very much looking forward to a prosperous second quarter. 

At ATFX, we remain focused on implementing our strategic expansion plans as many advanced nations start easing lockdown measures. We are continuously assessing market dynamics, which has allowed us to execute our contingency plans earlier this year and adapt to tough conditions created by the coronavirus pandemic. In line with government guidelines, we’ve put a temporary hold on physical seminars and instead, we’re running even more webinars online to ensure clients stay up to date with the market. We recently increased our share capital and are in the process of expanding our product suite and operations to other countries. We’re confident this approach combined with a resilient team will see us as a stronger company after this crisis.
