LONDON (ShareCast) - Inter-dealer broker ICAP continues to benefit from volatility in financial markets, with volumes in April sharply higher year-on-year.

The company said that average daily electronic broking volumes in Spot FX traded on its electronic platform in April were 60% higher than in April 2007.
