尽管从2015年7月开始月增率达到了2.5%，今年初急剧下降后，八月的零售外汇交易量依然不景气。
日本金融期货协会（FFAJ）已经发布了近期场外零售外汇保证金交易量2015年8月的最新数据。
经过连续6个月的强劲增长，2015年1月，日本外汇交易量在年初潜水。从那时起,交易量没有反弹至1月高点。
然而，2015年8月同比同年7月，月增率为2.5%，场外外汇保证金交易的交易量为491万亿日元。
整个8月份都是较为动荡的，尤其是后半个月。FFAJ特别强调了8月24日凌晨南非兰特大幅下降，同时日元兑美元上扬。
月底的敞口头寸较上个月下降了6539亿日元，在敞口头寸中有6.661万亿日元的交易。
8月底，55家外汇保证金交易交易上在日本都是非常活跃的。尽管日本零售外汇市场的标准尺度很大，保证金相对于西方竞争对手要少的多。但是事实上，本国交易商之间的竞争是非常激烈的，并且监管也是非常严格的。
Trading Volumes in Japan Still Down from January Highs, MoM Rise in August
Despite a 2.5% MoM rise from July 2015, August retail FX trading volumes remain sluggish after a sharp drop at the beginning of the year.
The Financial Futures Association of Japan (FFAJ) has published its most recent data on OTC (over-the counter) retail foreign exchange (FX) margin trading volumes for the month of August 2015.
After six consecutive months of strong growth leading up to January 2015, Japan saw FX trading volumes dive in early 2015. Since then, volumes have not rebounded to their January highs.
However, August 2015 saw a modest 2.5% MoM increase from the previous month of July, with the trading volume of OTC FX margin trading coming in at 491 trillion yen.
Volatility was relatively high throughout the month, especially the latter half. FFAJ particularly highlighted a sharp fall in the South Africa Rand that occurred in the early morning of August 24, while theyen rallied against the USD.
Open positions at the end of the month declined by 653.9 billion JPY from the previous month, with a total of 6,661 billion JPY in open positions.
At the end of August, 55 FX margin trading operators were reported to be active in the country. While the Japanese retail FX market is large by any standard, margins are much thinner vis-à-vis its Western competitors. Indeed, domestic competition between brokers is fierce and regulation is strict.
