Volumes and Market Share
For major currencies and regions, vanilla swaps referencing IBORs and OIS Swaps referencing RFRs.
We use single-side gross notional and cleared volume over a period, either a Year, a Quarter or a Month.
USD Swaps (Libor)
- 2022Q1 with $25.2 trillion compared to $25.9 trillion in 2021Q1
- At first glance surprisingly high given the move to SOFR, but one explained by the fact that FRA volume has moved into single-period swaps (SPS), see next chart below
- LCH SwapClear with $24.6 trillion in 2022Q1 and $24.4 trillion in 2021Q1
- CME OTC with $0.5 trillion in 2022Q1 and $1.4 trillion in 2021Q1
- 2022Q1 Share is LCH 97.8% and CME 2.2%, compared to 94.5% v 5.5% in 2021Q1, but not really an apples to apples comparison given the FRA issue noted above
A chart showing USD FRAs by quarter for the same period is illustrative.
- 2022Q1 with just $0.7 trillion compared to $18.5 trillion in 2021Q1
- A large chunk of the vanished FRA volumes is now in the IRS 2022Q1 figures as SPS
- As well as a reduced FRA use for portfolio rate reset management given SOFR uptake
USD OIS (All)
Referencing either Fed Funds or SOFR.
- 2022Q1 with $53.2 trillion compared to $12.1 trillion in 2021Q1 and $30 trillion in 2021Q4
- A spectacular increase, driven by SOFR uptake and FedFunds activity due to Fed rate rise expectations
- LCH SwapClear with $52.1 trillion in 2022Q1 and $11.4 trillion in 2021Q1
- CME OTC with $1.1 trillion in 2022Q1 and $0.7 trillion in 2021Q1
- 2022Q1 Share is LCH 97.9% and CME 2.1%, compared to 94.4% v 5.6% in 2021Q1

Next isolating Swaps that reference SOFR, either OIS or Basis, volumes by month.
- March 2022 with a record high of $7.5 trillion
- 2022Q1 with $18 trillion, up from $1.75 trillion in 2021Q1, an

EUR Swaps (€STR)
Next isolating Swaps that reference €STR, either OIS or Basis.
- A huge pick up in October as the €STR reference replaced EONIA for Swaps
- (even though EONIA has been fixed off €STR for some time now)
- March 2022 and April 2022, each with €7.6 trillion
- 2022Q1 with €18.4 trillion, up from €0.53 trillion in 2021Q1
