The number of transactions on SIX Swiss Exchange and SIX Structured Products Exchange climbed to a total of 3'525'653 in October 2016. This represents a rise of 1.6% compared with the preceding month. However, this increase was not reflected in overall trading turnover, which saw a slight decline of 3.5% to CHF 91.8 billion.
On a year-to-date basis, the total number of trades across all securities is 39'092'382, which is down 10.7% versus the same period last year. This trend is also reflected in trading turnover, which has fallen by 11.2% to CHF 1'045.5 billion. However, the record-high transaction volumes following the removal of the EUR/CHF floor in January 2015 had a major impact on performance last year.
