Read MoreHide Full Article
Shares of CME Group Inc. (CME - Free Report) were up nearly 1% in the last trading session after the company reported solid second-quarter 2019 average daily volumes (“ADV”). Volumes increased 14% year over year to 20.9 million contracts per day. While this marks the second-highest quarterly volume, record quarterly ADV was reported in Agricultural Commodities, Interest Rate options, Agricultural options and Metals options.
Agricultural Commodities ADV of 1.8 million contracts increased 6% while Interest Rate options ADV of 3.3 million contracts surged 56%. Agricultural options ADV improved 10% to 359,000 contracts and Agricultural options ADV increased 10% to 359,000 contracts.
Concurrently, the company also reported record ADV in Agricultural Commodities, Metals, Interest Rate options and Metals options for June 2019. Options volume of 5.7 million contracts surged 63%.
Interest rate volume of 12.9 million contracts per day shot up 56% while Equity index volume of 3.9 million contracts per day increased 20%.

However, Energy volume of 2.5 million contracts decreased 4% and Foreign exchange volumes contracted 9% to 1.1 million contracts per day.
CME group boasts 90% market share of the global futures trading and clearing services.

Also, increasing electronic trading volume adds scalability and hence leverage to CME Group’s operating model.
