LONDON and SINGAPORE, Jan. 21,
2020 /PRNewswire/ -- CME Group, the world's leading and
most diverse derivatives marketplace, today announced that it
achieved record international average daily volume (ADV) of 4.8
million contracts in 2019, up 10 percent from 2018. This
record, reflecting all trading done outside North America, was driven largely by growth in
Equity and Interest Rate products, up 17 percent and 15 percent
respectively.
In 2019, Europe, Middle East and Africa ADV hit a record 3.6
million contracts in 2019, up 7 percent from 2018. This was
driven by a strong performance in Equity and Interest Rate products
in the region, up 14 percent and 7 percent respectively, compared
to the same period in 2018.
Asia Pacific full year ADV
reached a record 1 million contracts, up 20 percent from
2018. This was driven by a 42 percent growth in Interest Rate
products, 32 percent growth in Equity products, and 9 percent
growth in Agricultural products in the region.
Latin America full year ADV was
a record 147,000 contracts in 2019, up 48 percent from the
corresponding period in 2018. This was led by a 119 percent
growth in Interest Rate products and 6 percent growth in
Agricultural products in the region.

increased volatility in global financial markets, driving clients
to CME Group to manage their risk on a robust, liquid and regulated
marketplace," said William
Knottenbelt, Senior Managing Director and Head of
International, CME Group. "As this economic uncertainty
continues, we are committed to work with market participants across
Europe, Asia Pacific and Latin America to provide global benchmarks
across every major investible asset class."
