CME Group announced that its quarterly international average daily volume (ADV) reached a record 8.8 million contracts in Q1 2025, marking a 19% increase year-on-year. This record reflects all trading reported outside the United States, demonstrating the company's expanding global footprint. The growth was broad-based, with all asset classes contributing to the surge.
The record quarterly ADV was driven by growth across all asset classes, as well as record quarterly ADV in EMEA, APAC, and Canada. Quarterly international records were achieved in Energy (up 29%), Agricultural (up 29%), and Foreign Exchange products (up 14%). This strong international performance underscores the universal appeal of CME's liquidity and capital efficiency.
This international expansion highlights how clients globally are increasingly turning to CME Group to access markets and manage risk amidst ongoing economic uncertainty. The sustained international growth is a key driver for the company's overall performance and revenue. It reinforces CME Group's position as a leading global derivatives marketplace.
