Abstract

Contributions of various trading styles to the liquidity of the multidealer foreign exchange (FX) spot market are described. Market impact of the intervention of the Bank of Japan in 2011 is discussed. Particular attention is given to the effects of high-frequency trading (HFT).

Possible solutions to maintaining market liquidity in the presence of HFT are addressed.
