I’m away for a few days but I thought you maybe interested to read this piece on the BBC site which provides some details on the rise of Global Currency Trading and the pre-eminent position that London maintains within this sector of the financial markets.
The data comes from the Bank of International Settlements three-year report in the FX market.
