The visualizations also include a table showing the amount of customer funds held by each FCM and the percent change over time, and a special "lookup" page that displays key data points for individual FCMs. Sign up to receive monthly alerts.

Monthly Volume Overview

Since 2014, we've collected volume data from swap execution facilities, a new type of trading venue registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. To provide the public with a greater transparency into the trading activity on these venues, we publish data on volume and market share trends for interest rate, credit and foreign exchange products traded on SEFs. This data is accessible through a series of interactive online visualizations that allow users to display the data in charts and tables, filter the data in various ways, and download the data in several formats. We also publish a spreadsheet with weekly data.
