To you perhaps. Your statement is 100% incorrect for experienced high frequency traders.

No he meant the overall increase in their average spreads during the last month. And he's right. The "norm" (the spread with the highest frequency of occurance) used to be 0.9 pips on EURUSD for example, now it abnormally shifted to about 1.3 pips. ...
