CME and Reuters are going to create FXMarketSpace - an innovative organization for trading Forex which complements existing trading mechanisms. Right now market participants consider Forex to be an attractive asset, and banks and others look to proprietary trading groups along with trading systems with set rules to grow revenues.
FXMarketSpace appears to be a brand new trading model - this will be the first time that central counterparty clearing. It is pretty hard to predict its impact but the benefits are expected to be huge.
FXMarketSpace promises to bring to the FX market a potential for deep liquidity, reduced cost of trading through market and operational efficiencies, equal access with full transparency of a central limit order book, and more.
