The latest issue of the "Bonds Quarterly Statistics" report looks at the performance of SIX Swiss Exchange's Bonds segment in the third quarter of 2017. |
Today, SIX Swiss Exchange today published the latest edition of its Bonds Quarterly Statistics[PDF]. The CHF Bonds segment turned over CHF 29.3 billion in the third quarter of 2017, a decrease of 4.1% compared to the previous quarter, but an increase of 9.4% compared to the third quarter in the previous year.
Positive trend in Domestic Bonds continues
The decrease in CHF Bonds is mainly attributed to a lower turnover in the third quarter in sectors Schweizerische Eidgenossenschaft, Pfandbriefen and Foreign CHF Bonds. While the quarterly turnover of Domestic CHF Bonds increased by 12.8% compared to the previous quarter, the turnover in Foreign CHF Bonds decreased by 7.6% to CHF 10.7 billion. In sum, the turnover in CHF Bonds outperformed last year's turnover due to a relatively large turnover in August and September.
The turnover in Non-CHF Bonds segment was CHF 5.1 billion in the third quarter of 2017. Following the relatively large turnover in the 1st and 2nd quarter of 2017, the turnover in Non-CHF Bonds decreased and recorded 7.5% lower in the 3rd quarter of 2017 compared to last year.
