Anyone else finding FX liquidity a bit thin outside of majors right now?

asked by u/wati51 · 1mo · 1 answers

Just had a few tricky fills on some exotics earlier today, specifically around the $AUDNZD cross. Spread was a bit wider than I'd typically expect for the volume I was pushing. Made me wonder if anyone else is seeing a general thinning of liquidity in some of the less-traded pairs across their brokers. Not sure if it's just my current provider or a broader market thing. Seems to smooth out during specific hours, but outside of those windows, it's been noticeable.

    Yeah, I've noticed something similar this week, especially in some of the more niche crosses. My spreads on CADJPY were a bit out of whack yesterday morning. Makes you wonder if it's just pre-holiday blues or something more structural happening with liquidity providers.
