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

USD Swaps (SOFR)

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
• Explaining 40% of the $40 trillion increase in OIS shown in the previous section

Eurex quarterly share of 6.1%, 7.9%, 6.5%, 8.2% and 6.7% respectively in the past five quarters, showing a mixed trend with gains followed by losses in QoQ share.

EUR OIS (All)

Referencing either EONIA or €STR.

• 2022Q1 market share is LCH 98.2%, Eurex 1.8%
• While 2021Q1 share was 97.4% and 2.6% respectively

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
