LONDON and SINGAPORE, Oct. 13,
2021 /PRNewswire/ -- CME Group, the world's leading and
most diverse derivatives marketplace, today announced that its
international average daily volume (ADV) reached 5 million
contracts in Q3 2021, up 13% year on year.
Reflecting all trading done outside the United States, volume increases were
driven by global growth in Interest Rate and Energy products, up
54% and 31% respectively.
"In the third quarter of this year, we saw strong interest
across our international client base, especially as clients
navigated uncertainty and volatility in global financial and energy
markets," said William Knottenbelt,

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 Q3 2021, ADV for Europe, the
Middle East and Africa (EMEA) hit 3.6 million contracts, up
15% from Q3 2020. This was due to a strong demand for
Interest Rate and Energy products in the region, up 47% and 29%
respectively, compared to the same period in 2020.
Asia Pacific Q3 2021 ADV rose
to 1.1 million contracts, up 8% from Q3 2020 and driven by 78%

in the region.
