Market liquidity is one of the key factors that determine the size of the spread. In the case of high market liquidity, it is easier for buyers and sellers to find counterparties, the transaction is smoother, and the spread is relatively low; When the market is less liquid, trading is more difficult, and spreads tend to widen accordingly.

An increase in market volatility often leads to widening of spreads. In the case of high market volatility, the broker may increase the spread in order to avoid risk in order to cope with the uncertainty of the market.
