I’ve been hearing that Exness spreads blow out pretty badly during news releases, and I’m trying to figure out if that’s just trader talk or if there’s a real difference compared to alternatives like FxPro or IC Markets.
The reason this matters to me is that I trade around news sometimes, and if one broker’s spreads spike 3 pips wider while another stays tight, that changes the entire cost equation. I want to make an informed choice before I move my account.
I’m also wondering how much a rebate service like GlobeGain actually helps offset these wider spreads during volatile moments. Does getting cashback back make a meaningful difference when spreads blow out, or is it just a small band aid on a bigger problem?
Have you tracked your actual costs across different brokers during major economic announcements? What’s the real spread behavior you’ve seen with Exness compared to others during news events?
All brokers widen spreads on news. Exness is average.
News spreads are wider everywhere. Rebates help a bit.
Exness spreads widen less than FxPro during NFP.
I tested this myself during the last month of volatility. Exness spreads widened to about 3 pips on major pairs during news events. FxPro behaved similarly, IC Markets ran slightly tighter around 2.5 pips average.
The rebate system helps, but here’s the reality: if you’re trading around news intentionally, you’re already taking on execution risk. Spreads are just one part of that equation. Slippage can cost more than the spread difference between brokers.
Focus on which broker gives you consistent execution rather than chasing slight spread advantages during chaos. That’s where you actually save money.
Exness spreads do widen during major news releases, but honestly most brokers do. I’ve noticed it goes from around 1.5 pips to about 3 pips during big economic announcements.
Comparing it to FxPro, the difference is pretty minimal. Both tend to behave similarly. IC Markets stays a bit tighter from what I’ve seen.
The rebate aspect is useful for offsetting costs overall, but I wouldn’t factor it in as the main reason to choose a broker during volatile moments. Focus on which platform executes better for you, and the rebates are just a bonus on top.
Exness spreads widen like all brokers on news. Around 2.5 to 3 pips. Rebates help reduce true cost.
Been tracking this for a while because I scalp around news events. Exness spreads definitely widen, but not abnormally. I usually see them hit 2.8 to 3.2 pips on EUR/USD during major releases.
Compared FxPro and they’re almost identical in behavior. IC Markets does stay slightly tighter. The key difference I found wasn’t the spreads themselves but how quickly they returned to normal after the event.
Exness returns to tight spreads faster than both competitors, which actually matters more than the peak spread width. Combined with rebates from GlobeGain, my average cost during these periods is reasonable. It’s not the best, but it’s solid.
