Market Volatility and Spread
There are certain moments that the spreads get wider than normal, and you may need to know when and prepare your funds/positions for that.
- Important news release
- During political uncertainty
- Unexpected events/natural disaster
- The close of the business day(weekends)
It is typical that spread gets wider than 10 – 20 pips in these situations.
In case, your broker offers “variable/floating spreads”, then the spread may change at anytime, depending on the available market liquidity.
In case of “fixed spread”, trading maybe disabled during these situations. (depends on each broker’s condition)
