Doo Group, which operates a CFDs broker and also offer institutional services, is seeing a summer slowdown, with trading volume on its platform falling to $128.6 billion from $193 billion in March and April. However, the figure still rose by a modest 1.89 per cent month over month.
Compared to the same period last year, June’s trading volume increased by around 22 per cent.
The Market Moves Away from Tariff Volatility
It is worth noting that most trading platforms saw a spike in demand last April due to tariff-related volatility in the markets. While US President Donald Trump’s tariff policies put many industries under pressure, trading platforms were among the few that benefited.

However, the fading of that volatility and the seasonal dip due to summer holidays are now reflected in Doo Group’s numbers.
The brokerage further revealed that June’s average daily volume (ADV) was $4.29 billion, which is about 5.3 per cent higher than the previous month.
Gold Is Always Traders’ Favourite
The main events influencing the markets last month—therefore impacting trading volumes—were the crisis in the Middle East, Trump’s tariff plans, and the “One Big Beautiful Bill” on tax cuts, Doo stated.
“Due to the continued instability in the Middle East, including the potential for conflict between Israel and Iran, and the ongoing actions of Israel in Palestine, gold and oil prices have moved sharply, and investors are focusing on gold and crude oil trading products,” the brokerage operator explained.
Indeed, the most traded product on Doo’s platform last month was XAU/USD. Meanwhile, XTI/USD saw the largest percentage increase—up over 139 per cent.
Doo operates globally under several regulatory licences, including those from authorities in Australia, Hong Kong, Kenya, the UAE and the British Virgin Islands. It also obtained a licence in Cyprus last year and expanded its presence there with a new office in Limassol.
