CME Group’s trading volume in February was the highest for any month since October 2008 – just before derivatives activity slumped as the financial crisis hit traders. Average daily volume in February was 12.5m contracts, 17% more than last February. Total volume was 238m contracts.
Chiefly responsible for the improvement was a revival of CME’s interest rate products. Interest rate volume rose 37% year-on-year to 5.7m contracts a day and Treasury futures grew 55% to an ADV of 2.7m.
