CME Group reported a new single-day trading volume record of 67.1 million contracts on February 25, surpassing the previous record set in March 2023. The increase was driven by heightened activity in interest rate and U.S. Treasury markets, with interest rate futures and options reaching nearly 51 million contracts and U.S. Treasury futures and options exceeding 40 million contracts. Key contributors included record volumes in 2-Year and Ultra 10-Year U.S. Treasury Note futures.

CEO Terry Duffy attributed the surge to market participants seeking risk management amid uncertainty. CME Group continues to provide tools for managing risk across various asset classes, including U.S. Treasuries, SOFR, and credit products. The company offers trading through platforms such as CME Globex, BrokerTec, and EBS, as well as clearing services through CME Clearing.
