Onto the charts, data and details.

Volumes and Market Share

For major currencies and regions, vanilla swaps referencing IBORs and OIS Swaps referencing RFRs, using single-sided gross notional volume over a period; either a month, quarter or year.

USD Swaps (Libor)

USD IRS single-sided gross notional in usd millions

USD OIS (All)

Referencing Fed Funds and SOFR.

USD OIS single-sided gross notional in usd millions

USD Swaps (SOFR)

Next I usually isolate Swaps that reference SOFR, however at the time of writing I do not have June volumes for SOFR, so will skip this section.

[Note: I may update this next week or cover the data in a future blog].
