LONDON and SINGAPORE, July 12,
2021 /PRNewswire/ -- CME Group, the world's leading and
most diverse derivatives marketplace, today announced that its
international average daily volume (ADV) reached 5.1 million
contracts in Q2 2021, up 6% year on year.
Reflecting all trading done outside North America, this volume was driven by
global growth in Agricultural and Interest Rate products, up 30%
and 42% respectively. Agricultural products also established
record quarterly volumes in Europe, Middle
East and Africa (EMEA), as
well as Asia Pacific and
Latin America.
"In the second quarter of this year, we saw strong interest
across our international client base, especially in our
Agricultural products which established record quarterly volumes,"
said William Knottenbelt, Senior
Managing Director and Head of International, CME Group. "We are
committed to continuing to provide a robust, liquid and regulated
marketplace for clients to manage their risk around the clock and
around the world."
In Q2 2021, EMEA ADV hit 3.7
million contracts, up 5% from Q2 2020. This was due to a
strong performance in Agricultural and Interest Rate products in
the region, up 35% and 24% respectively, compared to the same
period in 2020.
Asia Pacific Q2 2021 ADV hit
1.2 million contracts, up 8% from Q2 2020. This was driven by
a 67% growth in Agricultural products, and 60% growth in Interest
Rate products in the region.
Latin America ADV was 114,000 contracts in Q2 2021, up 5% from
the corresponding period in 2020. This was led by 41%
growth in Agricultural products and 14% growth in FX products
in the region.
Globally, CME Group reported ADV of 18.4 million contracts
during Q2 2021, up 5% from the same period last year. This
