J.P. Morgan has clinched five prestigious awards for its dominance in foreign currency trading — the world’s largest financial market where daily trading volumes exceed $7.5 trillion.
At a ceremony in London in September, Euromoney named the firm the World’s Best FX Market Maker, Best Bank for FX Options, Best FX Bank in the Nordics, Best FX Bank in North America, and Best Bank for FX Data and Analytics.
Recognized for its unwavering support to clients across all market conditions, J.P. Morgan was hailed as the year’s top market maker. Euromoney said that the firm excels in helping clients price and execute trades regardless of market volatility, thereby sustaining healthy liquidity.
The global FX market is one of the most technologically advanced in the world. As international trade flows have surged, J.P. Morgan has modernized its platforms by migrating to the cloud and increasing automation, enabling it to handle greater volumes at lower costs. These investments have not only boosted efficiency but also enhanced transparency, accelerated pricing and execution, and offered greater customization for clients, allowing the firm to capture more market share.
“This award reflects the dedication of our teams, and we are thankful to our clients and partners for their continued trust and support, which inspire us to strive for excellence every day. Together, we will continue to push the boundaries of innovation and deliver outstanding results in the FX market.”

In FX options, J.P. Morgan’s market share in direct client execution has risen by 7% year-on-year. Platform improvements have also significantly enhanced transaction speed, with over 80% of interactions taking less than one second, even for complex updates.
J.P. Morgan has also been investing heavily in its FX Data and Analytics capabilities. Among the developments, the team’s Algo Simulator provides clients with a realistic simulation of live market conditions and trade performance. Additional data enhancements offer insights on executing trades more cost-effectively, helping clients fine-tune their trading strategies with greater precision, Euromoney noted.
In the Nordics, Euromoney highlighted J.P. Morgan's team for significantly strengthening its presence in the FX markets. The team has leveraged its role as a key liquidity provider, offering innovative trading technology and analytics, and achieving impressive market share across key currencies. While in North America, the focus has been on automation, client customization, and technological upgrades such as Project Discovery, which improves pricing and streamlines operations by eliminating the need for manual data analysis.
“We are immensely proud and honored to be recognized at the Euromoney FX Awards 2024,” said Gergana Thiel, global co-head of Macro Sales at J.P. Morgan. “This award reflects the dedication of our teams, and we are thankful to our clients and partners for their continued trust and support, which inspire us to strive for excellence every day. Together, we will continue to push the boundaries of innovation and deliver outstanding results in the FX market.”
The Euromoney Foreign Exchange Awards have been the gold standard for big players in the wholesale FX market for almost 50 years, showcasing the best in the business and providing a comprehensive overview of developments in the industry.
