The chart below shows the level of trade on Liv-ex over the weekend (with a two–month rolling average). As you can see, a big spike occurred in March when the US got rid of the 25% tariffs on European wines. Weekend trade then returned to more normal levels over the rest of the year but has been building again this autumn.
October is already the second-biggest month recorded for non-weekday trading. The reason for this recent spike is more members being connected to Liv-ex via our Automation services and members listing stock LIVE.
