Can CME Keep Up Trading Momentum?

The last time CME witnessed four consecutive quarters of growth in trade volumes was back in April 2011, with an aggregate 15% rise in trading volumes in that period. Comparatively, CME's derivative trading volumes have risen by 24% in the four-month period ending October. Given the current trading environment, trading activity could remain healthy through the end of the year, giving the global exchange operator the longest period of sustained growth in the last five years.
