CME Group, the world's leading derivatives marketplace, today announced that its international average daily volume (ADV) reached a record 8.4 million contracts in Q3 2024, up 29% year on year. Reflecting all trading reported outside the United States, the record volume was driven by growth across all asset classes, with the highest trading volumes coming from interest rate and equity products, which accounted for three-quarters of the growth in volume.
Interest rate products saw record growth of 32% in quarterly volumes year on year, driven by an increase of 38% growth in SOFR futures and 25% growth in Treasury contracts. In addition, Energy products saw 30% growth, Equities products were up 25%, and record FX volumes increased by 14% in the third quarter.
"Our record Q3 international ADV was driven by significant increases in volume across all asset classes in EMEA and APAC, demonstrating how our clients turned to the breadth of our products to navigate unpredictability and volatility," said Julie Winkler, Senior Managing Director and Chief Commercial Officer, CME Group. "In particular, our SOFR and U.S. Treasury futures and E-Mini equity options achieved notable growth. Going forward, we remain focused on partnering with our clients to help them manage risk, pursue opportunities and expand their businesses internationally."
