Fresh after announcing that shareholders from both the IntercontinentalExchange and NYSE Euronext approved their pending Merger , the ICE reported May volume numbers today. Average daily volumes (ADV) for the month totaled 3,317,512 contracts, which was 5% below the same period last year and 13.7% below April figures. In FX, ADV were 43,279 contracts, a 25% increase above May 2012 levels, but 3.2% below April’s figures. The volumes also compare poorly to the CME which saw volumes increase during May.
