In this article I look at 2018 CCP market share for OTC Derivatives in Credit, FX and Interest Rates, in the same format as I used for my 2017 CCP market share statistics article.
Clarus CCPView has daily volume data published by each CCP, which is filtered, normalised and aggregated to allow meaningful comparison of market share statistics and I have used this to produce all the statistics below.
Summary of 2018 market share:
- IRD
- CRD
- FXD
- LCH ForexClear has >97% in NDF
- HKEx has 100% of XCCY Swaps
- LCH ForexClear has 100% of FXO
Onto the charts, data and details.
