Is it cheaper to have fixed or variable spreads?
Depends on what you call cheaper, generally you are more likely to pay more with fixed spreads. Brokers take on additionally risk since it is they who will pay if raw spread prices move against them so they protect themselves from this risk by widening the spread. This is why fixed spreads are usually wider than variable spreads. However, there are exceptions to this, when liquidity is low or conditions are volatile, variable spreads can widen and it is possible they will widen more than the spreads that are fixed which theoretically should not widen. For this reason variable can end up costing more if things go badly wrong in the market.
