Introducing the ETD Tracker:
This month FIA is releasing the November data on futures and options trading in two formats: the established spreadsheet format and a new format called the FIA ETD Tracker. The ETD Tracker consists of interactive visualizations on the FIA website that allow users to view data on volume and open interest, with filters based on year and month, region and jurisdiction, asset group and type of product. The ETD Tracker also includes visualizations that rank exchanges by total volume in the latest month and year to date as well as open interest in the latest month. Click here to access the ETD Tracker.
Highlights from November 2022:
Worldwide volume of exchange-traded derivatives reached 7.75 billion contracts in November, up 10.9% from October 2022 and up 25.7% from November 2021.
Options continue to gain in popularity. Global trading of options reached 5.15 billion contracts in November, up by more than 49% from last year, with most of that trading taking place in the Asia-Pacific region. Global trading of futures reached 2.6 billion contracts in November, down 4.1% from the same month last year.
On a year-to-date basis, volume in the first eleven months of the year was 75.41 billion contracts, up 33.6% from the first eleven months of 2021. The majority of that increase came from equity index contracts.
Total open interest at the end of November was a record 1.24 billion contracts. The November total was up 3.6% from October 2022 and up 2.5% from a year ago.
Open interest in futures contracts was 316.2 million contracts at the end of November, up 10.7% from a year ago. Open interest in options was 922.7 million contracts at the end of November, virtually the same as a year ago.
