Spread this evening on my FXDD account is 10 pips on the EURUSD. This is the first time their EURUSD spread has been more than 2 pips to the best of my knowledge. Their spread is also out of wack on GBPUSD EURCHF and USDCHF. On-line chat rep called it a "liquidity problem" but I think something else is driving it as other pairs don't have this issue. Anyone else having problems with their broker's spreads this evening?

Saw that too, but it appeared to be centric to FXDD only. Spreads are definitely elevated for a Sunday open, but this is nothing like post-Lehman Sunday. EURUSD back to down to 1-1.5 on the ECNs from 2-3 at the open

Spreads were high on Oanda and Instaforex too. Plus there was a 170 pip gap open on the brokers. IMF bailout of greece news I guess caused this.
