• Trading in U.S. government bonds was supported by strong client activity in institutional and wholesale markets; the continued momentum of session-based trading and streaming protocols; and the addition of the Nasdaq Fixed Income business. Robust issuance, along with heightened rates market volatility, drove record European government bond trading.
• Mortgage ADV was down 15.0% YoY to $211.8bn.

CREDIT

• Fully electronic U.S. Credit ADV was up 19.7% YoY to $3.8bn and European credit ADV was up 2.8% YoY to $2.1bn.
