SBI informed that the above campaign spread is not fixed and liable to change. It is inevitable due to circumstances such as natural disasters such as earthquake disasters, other external factors) and situations where the liquidity of the market is declining (first weekend, weekend, year-end and new year, Christmas season, etc.) Sometimes spreads deviate from their historical norms in which SBI would have to adjust for.

Investors on SBI FX Trade are able to start trading with small amounts, such as a margin of 4¥ on one U.S. dollar (assuming an exchange rate of 100¥ to the dollar). They also meet the needs of experienced and professional investors by handling orders up to a maximum ¥10 million currencies. The spread campaign is increasingly interesting to heavy traders who deal heavy volume.
