CME Group reported a new all-time monthly record for average daily volume (ADV) in February, reaching 37.6 million contracts. This performance represents a significant 14% increase compared to the same month in the previous year. The surge was primarily driven by record-breaking activity in interest rate products, specifically U.S. Treasury futures and options. International participation also hit a milestone, with international ADV reaching a record high of 11.6 million contracts. Growth was further supported by strong demand for agricultural derivatives throughout the month, reflecting robust global market liquidity.
