Spreads since Thursday broadly widening, any news?

Hello People,

at least at my provider the spreads are widening since last 48 hours on exoctics and in last 24 hours on majors but not all are affected, but for example GBP/USD + 15%, GBP/HKD + 120% (!!). Also other currencies are affected. Can anyone confirm? You can see that on historical spreads.

Not all currencies are affected but lots of the majors. So there must be going on sth. in the market spreads.

Thank you!

At my broker the spreads are dynamic but for the moment they are stable, nothing changed!
Saying for feedback

Maybe look at another broker if you're seeing high spreads right now.

If you're talking about Tuesday, it was a US Holiday which I wouldn't be surprised if spreads were high that day (I didn't open a trading terminal Tuesday so I can't confirm). But spreads have been normal for me since Wednesday.

I show you a picture: Here are some exotics but also majors:

My broker had yet no answer but something weird is going on. I don't think it's themself only. So my question is if someone of you experiencing the same since the last 48 hours on your broker.

May be it has to do with the China-Taiwan Conflict. Don't underestimate that regarding GBP/USD because USD/HKD is fixed and they have big problems to keep the quotes in range so it affects GBP/HKD and also GBP/USD in general.

Sadly, I cannot get any more answers. I would need direct contact to hong kong.

I don’t think I have seen any changes in spreads levels recently. Everything is the same idk. Maybe it's your local thing with the broker. You should ask client support if they experienced some issues lately.
