The Group reported growth in FX trading for October 2024, with EBS Spot FX ADNV up 15% to $58.3 billion.
The strong performance in FX contributed to CME's overall ADV of 24.3 million contracts.
Foreign
exchange (Forex) trading volumes at CME Group showed robust performance in
October 2024. EBS Spot FX average daily volume (ADV) rose 15% to $58.3
billion.
CME Group's FX Trading
Volumes Show Strong Growth in October
The
derivatives marketplace saw particularly strong growth in its FX Link platform,
where average daily volume surged
193% to 54,000 contracts. This represents approximately $5 billion in notional
value.
The overall
foreign exchange segment recorded an average daily volume of 792,000 contracts
for the month. This performance came amid broader strength across CME's major
asset classes, contributing to the exchange's total ADV of 24.3 million
contracts.
International
trading remained significant, with the total international average daily volume
reaching 7.2 million contracts. The breakdown shows EMEA leading with 5.4
million contracts, followed by Asia at 1.5 million contracts, while Latin
America contributed 135,000 contracts.
Julie Winkler, Senior Managing Director and Chief Commercial Officer, CME Group
This
contrasts with data reported by other
major FX trading venues. Japan's Click 365 reported a 12% decline in volume
in October, while Cboe's average daily volume (ADV) reached $42.8 billion, down
from $46.9 billion.
“Our record
Q3 international ADV was driven by significant increases in volume across all
asset classes in EMEA and APAC, demonstrating how our clients turned to the
breadth of our products to navigate unpredictability and volatility,” said
Julie Winkler, Senior Managing Director and Chief Commercial Officer at CME
Group
Record-Breaking
Performance Across Assets
Beyond
foreign exchange, CME Group achieved several notable milestones across its
major asset classes. Interest rate trading reached a record October average
daily volume of 12.5 million contracts, marking a 6% increase year-over-year.
The U.S. Treasury futures complex was particularly active, with a record
October average daily volume of 5.5 million contracts.
Energy
markets also demonstrated significant strength, with the overall average daily
volume increasing 16% to reach a record October level of 2.7 million contracts.
Notable performances included Henry Hub Natural Gas futures, which saw a 22%
increase to 562,000 contracts, and WTI Crude Oil options, which surged 45% to
282,000 contracts.
The
BrokerTec platform showed strength in repo trading, with U.S. Repo average
daily notional value increasing 11% to $316.7 billion. European Repo activity
grew modestly by 1% to €299.7 billion, while U.S. Treasury trading also saw a
1% increase to $112.8 billion.
CME Group's Q3 Earnings
Soar 14%
In the
third quarter, CME Group experienced
a notable increase in profit, driven by traders utilizing its products to
navigate market volatility. The company reported revenues of $1.3 billion and
an operating income of $820 million.
Net income
rose to $807.8 million, or $2.25 per share, for the quarter ending September
30. This reflects a 13.7% increase from the $710 million, or $1.98 per share,
reported in the same period the previous year.
“CME
Group delivered its ninth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth in
adjusted earnings per share and an increase of 9% in revenue as market
participants continued turning to our markets to mitigate their business risks
amid accelerating geopolitical uncertainty,” stated the CME Group's Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer, Terry Duffy.

Executive Interview | Dor Eligula | Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer, BridgeWise | FMLS:25
In this session, Jonathan Fine form Ultimate Group speaks with Dor Eligula from Bridgewise, a fast-growing AI-powered research and analytics firm supporting brokers and exchanges worldwide.
We start with Dor’s reaction to the Summit and then move to broker growth and the quick wins brokers often overlook. Dor shares where he sees “blue ocean” growth across Asian markets and how local client behaviour shapes demand.
We also discuss the rollout of AI across investment research. Dor gives real examples of how automation and human judgment meet at Bridgewise — including moments when analysts corrected AI output, and times when AI prevented an error.
We close with a practical question: how retail investors can actually use AI without falling into common traps.

Brendan Callan joined us fresh off the Summit’s most anticipated debate: “Is Prop Trading Good for the Industry?” Brendan argued against the motion — and the audience voted him the winner.
In this interview, Brendan explains the reasoning behind his position. He walks through the message he believes many firms avoid: that the current prop trading model is too dependent on fees, too loose on risk, and too confusing for retail audiences.
We discuss why he thinks the model grew fast, why it may run into walls, and what he believes is needed for a cleaner, more responsible version of prop trading.
This is Brendan at his frankest — sharp, grounded, and very clear about what changes are overdue.
