RATES<\/b><\/p>\n
- \n
- \nU.S. government bond ADV was up 14.9% YoY to $142.7 billion (bn). European government bond ADV was up 19.6% YoY to $32.9bn.<\/p>\n
- \n
- \nGrowth was driven by strong activity across all client sectors. Higher interest rates continued to drive trading in the retail market. U.S. and European government bond volumes were supported by sustained rates market volatility.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- \nMortgage ADV was up 11.0% YoY to $174.4bn.<\/p>\n
- \n
- \nOverall trading activity was supported by relative value trading, despite continued sluggish origination. Client engagement in specified pool trading remained strong.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- \nSwaps\/swaptions \u2265 1-year ADV was up 125.4% YoY to $381.8bn and total rates derivatives ADV was up 89.0% YoY to $535.9bn.<\/p>\n
- \n
- \nRecord volume in swaps\/swaptions \u2265 1-year was driven in part by heightened interest rate volatility, particularly in shorter dated instruments, and a 195% YoY increase in compression activity. Quarter-to-date compression percentage is running higher than 2Q23. Shorter dated, lower duration instruments in swaps\/swaptions \u2265 1-year have a lower fee per million. Strong volumes continued to be buoyed by activity in emerging markets swaps, global inflation swaps and the request-for-market (RFM) protocol.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
CREDIT<\/b><\/p>\n

Tradeweb captured a record 17.3% share of fully electronic U.S. High Grade TRACE, and a record 8.5% share of fully electronic U.S. High Yield TRACE. Higher European credit volumes were supported by strong activity in sessions-based trading and RFQ.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
