FIA April 2018 SEF Tracker

Date 15/05/2018

Total trading volume on SEFs averaged $637 billion in notional value per day during April 2018.  That was up 48.4% from April 2017 but down 23.1% percent from March 2018, which set the all-time record in terms of total volume traded. The month-over-month decrease in trading volume was driven mainly by a drop in on-SEF trading of interest rate swaps, which was down 22.2% from March 2018 but up 50.8% from April 2017. Trading of FX products in April 2018 continued at a high level; though FX trading in April was down from March, it was higher than any other month in prior years. Note: this month's release of the SEF Tracker was delayed in order to verify the accuracy of certain SEF data.
