Currency trading volumes handled by systems owned by Thomson Reuters Corp. (TRI) were slightly lower in April from March, the company said Wednesday.

Daily trading volumes on Thomson Reuters' main FX Spot trading services--Thomson Reuters Dealing, Matching and Reuters Trading for FX--averaged $130 billion. That was down slightly from $131 billion in March and matched the average daily volumes recorded in April 2012.

FXall, the currency trading platform acquired by Thomson Reuters last year, reported average daily currency volumes of $108 billion. That was down from $110 billion in March but up on April 2012's $89 billion.

Rival interbank platform EBS, owned by ICAP PLC (IAP.LN), reported average daily volumes of $128.3 billion in April, up 7% from March and 17% on the year.
