IG posts increase in quarterly revenue, says full-year results are hard to predict

Trading firm IG Group posted an increase in revenue in the first three months of the year, although it warned market volatility had made it harder to predict an outcome for the full year. In the quarter to the end of August, revenue rose 24% year-on-year to A 106m, driven higher by growth in all regions, although an increase in numbers in Europe was partially offset by a decline in average revenue per user.
