Total trading volume on swap execution facilities averaged $685.7 billion in notional value per day during the month of September, up 51.1% from the previous month and up 41.3% from September 2016. The increase was driven by a surge in the volume of interest rate swaps traded on SEFs, which rose to $306.9 billion per day, the highest since March. In addition, trading activity in credit default swaps hit a near-record level of $50.6 billion per day during the month of September, mainly due to the biannual roll into new indices.
