The standout performer was Ultra <a href="https://www.leaprate.com/breaking/global-government-bonds-experience-largest-2023-sell-off/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">US Treasury Bond</a> Futures, which soared to 308,238 contracts. There was also robust volume growth for SOFR futures (+44%) and options (101%).</p>
<p>However, last year’s record-setting September meant a year-over-year decline for a range of assets, even as the month compared favourably with over-trading periods overall. The ADV for interest rate dipped 10% from a year ago to 10.2m, though it did climb 6% overall in Q3 to 11m. There was also a 24% drop off for the equity index ADV, which came in at 7.1m last month.</p>

<p>Investors reacted fairly positively to the news on Tuesday. CME Group did trade lower during the morning session but recovered to close 0.75% higher at $201.66. Those gains looked more impressive considering Tuesday proved to be a challenging day for many stocks and shares. CME Group is now not far off its yearly high of $209.31, which was set back in early August.</p>
