Trading is booming off the exchanges

Traders across Europe are complaining about a massive liquidity problem on the public exchange but trading is booming off the exchanges. On the other hand, so-called dark pools for block trading that are invisible from the outside are flourishing.

According to a survey conducted by SIX Swiss Exchange, almost half of them complain about the low liquidity of securities trading. One in four respondents would also like to see more volatility. SIX conducted the Trader Survey in the third quarter of this year, reaching 2,000 traders from Switzerland, France, Germany, the UK and Ireland, the Netherlands and Liechtenstein.

Respondents reported that traders are flocking to “dark trading” because it is difficult to do anything anymore on public, regulated exchanges. Almost a third of the survey participants believed that the liquidity reduced in ongoing stock market trading is most likely to flow into the dark pools. SIX concludes that trading platforms that offer a wide range of order books and execution mechanisms are therefore clearly better positioned than those that only offer trading on the public order book.
