IntercontinentalExchange Group (NYSE: ICE), the leading global network of exchanges and clearing houses, today reported exchange traded volumes for February 2014.
ICE's February average daily volume (ADV) for global derivatives was 10.7 million contracts, a decrease of 9% compared to February 2013.
- Commodity futures and options ADV increased 8% driven by continued strength in natural gas, up 18%, and agriculture contract volume, up 29% year to year.
- Financial futures and options ADV declined 20% driven primarily by a 24% decline in interest rate volumes versus February 2013, when expectations for changes in interest rate levels drove increased Euribor volumes.
In February, NYSE’s U.S. cash equities ADV increased 2% and Euronext’s European cash equities ADV increased 12% from the prior February.
