CME Group Inc. (ISIN US12572Q1058) reported record trading activity for September and the third quarter on October 2, 2026. September average daily volume reached 31.80 million contracts, up 22.00 percent year over year, while third-quarter average daily volume reached 29.40 million, up 16.00 percent.

Three volume records set in 2026

On September 30, 2026, BrokerTec recorded a single-day average daily notional value of USD 1.261 trillion, according to CME Group. On October 2, 2026, the company reported September ADV of 31.80 million contracts, a record for the month.

The same October 2 release showed third-quarter ADV of 29.40 million contracts, also a record. Interest-rate ADV increased 13.00 percent to 15.10 million contracts in the quarter, giving the volume growth a broad base beyond equity-index trading.

What record volumes mean for CME

The mix matters because the third-quarter increase was spread across several asset classes. Interest-rate ADV rose 13.00 percent, equity-index ADV increased 23.00 percent to 7.70 million contracts, and energy ADV climbed 16.00 percent, according to CME Group. That breadth is important for an exchange operator because activity across rates, indexes, energy, agriculture, foreign exchange and metals supports transaction and clearing revenue from multiple markets.

September also showed stronger activity in several individual products. Micro E-mini Nasdaq-100 futures ADV increased 73.00 percent to 2.40 million contracts, while foreign-exchange ADV rose 32.00 percent to 1.40 million contracts.

Results date is October 21

CME Group is scheduled to report its third-quarter results on October 21, 2026, with the release planned before market open, according to Zacks. The current consensus estimate listed there is USD 2.96 for earnings per share for the quarter ending in September 2026.
