- Overall volume in June 2017 is > $148 billion
- This is 50% of the USD IRS Compression volume
EONIA, SONIA, TONAR
Next lets check how volumes in EONIA, SONIA and TONAR have performed.
First for outright trades.
Showing:
- Volume in June 2017 was > $1.16 trillion, 11% down from a year earlier
- EUR Off SEF is by far the largest at > $800 billion
- GBP Off SEF is next with > $340 billion
- On SEF volumes are tiny compared to Off SEF
Second for Roll trade volumes in 2017.
Showing:
- June 2017 is by far the highest month
- EUR Off SEF is by far the largest at > $230 billion
- EUR On SEF is next at > $88 billion
- GBP On SEF is next with > $35 billion
- A total of $380 billion is rolled, compared to the $695 billion of USD OIS
In June 2017, total OIS volume in EUR, GBP, JPY was $1.54 trillion, which is higher than the total of $1.36 trillion in IRS volume in these three currencies.
SEF Market Share
Lets now turn to SEFView and SEF Market Share in IRS including Vanilla, Basis and OIS Swaps.
DV01 (in USD millions) by month for USD, EUR, GBP and by each SEF, including SEF Compression trades for the prior four months.
Showing:
Showing that:
- June 2017 volume at $1.62 billion DV01 is up from May and only just below the high in March
- Tradeweb has the largest volume at $540 million
- Bloomberg is next with $ 477 million
- TrueEx (the other D2C SEF) has $67 million
- The D2C total of $1.1 billion is similar to the March figure
- D2D SEF volumes in comparison are down from March
- $535 million in June 2017, compared to the $659 million in March
- Tradition the largest with $141 million
- IGDL and TP with $130m and $112m, a total for TP-ICAP of $242 million
- BGC with $89 million and Dealerweb with $61 million, are both up
In gross notional terms $2.3 trillion of USD IRS traded On SEF in June 2017.
Meaning that the $1.7 trillion in SDR for On SEF Price-forming and Compression/Roll should be increased by 35% to equal the SEF reported number, which is close to the 30% rule-of-thumb observed average.
In gross notional terms $1.9 trillion of USD OIS was reported On SEF, compared to the $1.1 trillion in SDR, meaning that the SDR number should be increased by 72% to equal the SEF number, showing the much greater impact on OIS Swaps, which tend to be very large in size due to capped notional rules.
TrueEx again had a big month in OIS with $710 billion gross notional, see March 2017 Swaps Review.
While BGC was the largest D2D SEF in USD OIS with $429 billion.
CCP Basis Spreads and Volumes
In SEFView we can isolate CME Cleared Swap volume at the major D2D SEFs (on the assumption that this is all CME–LCH Switch trade activity). Lets look at this for the past 4 months.
Showing:
- Overall volume in June 2017 was $43 billion
- Continuing the downward trend since the peak of $96 billion in March 2017
- Tradition the largest with $13.3 billion
- IGDL next with $10.6 billion
- BGC with $7.8b, TP $5.6b and Dealerweb $5.4b
CME-LCH Basis Spreads ended the month at 2.30 bps for 10Y and 3.30 bps for 30Y, both down 0.25bps from the prior month end.
Global Cleared Volumes
Next lets move onto CCPView and Global Cleared Swap Volumes of EUR, GBP, JPY & USD Swaps (IRS, OIS, Basis, ZC, VNS types).

- All the volume is at LCH SwapClear
- Total in June 2017 is $154 billion, down from $168 billion in May
