During March 2016, TMX and all of its marketplaces saw equities volumes of 14,507,052,605, jumping by a margin of 22.4% MoM from 11,844,736,512 in February 2016. Looking at a yearly timetable however, the performance in overall equities volume was also positive, rising 10.2% YoY from 13,162,246,524 in March 2015.
