Chicago futures Markets Post Record Volume in June
by: admin, July 2, 2007
Reuters - The RPC, a key measure of margins, is reported on a one-month lag. Slower growth in interest rate options, which have the lowest RPC of CME’s product lines, could boost the RPC for the quarter ended in June.
At CBOT, the number two U.S. futures mart, interest rate trading jumped 57 percent on the year to a record 3.8 million contracts per day in June. Financial contracts accounted for 78 percent of CBOT’S total volume for the month.
Strong growth was also seen in CBOT’s agricultural and equity index segments, while turnover in the metals complex was down 25 percent on the year.
