Rate Hike Propels Growth In CME’s Interest Rate Derivative Trading Volumes In Q2
CME Group (NASDAQ:CME) saw solid trading volumes in Q2, with its daily volumes 7% above the year ago levels. Recent rate hikes and the Fed’s indications of a series of hikes in the year ahead has boosted investor interest in interest rate derivatives, with trading volumes 19% ahead of the levels seen in Q2,2016. After remaining subdued for most of the year so far, energy derivatives picked up pace with the recent surge in oil prices due to cuts in production. Meanwhile, metal derivatives saw 12% growth in trading volumes. We expect further volume growth with the improvement in the U.S. economy.
