Tradeweb, however, has reported the reverse.

In August of 2019, the company achieved an average daily volume of $832.4 billion. While this figure was higher on a year-on-year comparison by 67.9 percent when measuring September’s figure against August, last month’s ADV has increased by 4.8 percent.

September’s solid results were driven by strong performances in US exchange-traded funds (ETFs), an uptick in the daily trading of mortgages, and more.

Namely, the average daily volume for US ETFs was $3.4 billion. This is higher than the $3.2 billion daily average trading executed in the month of August by 6.3 percent. The ADV for European ETFs remained flat, at $1.9 billion.

Despite the fact that overall, the average daily trading picked up during the month of September on a monthly comparison, not all segments managed to post an increase in trading volumes from August to last month.

One of those segments was Chinese bonds. Specifically, in August, the fixed-income platform operator noted an ADV of $1.4 billion. However, in September, the average trading per day slumped down to $1.0 billion, which represents a drop of 28.6 percent.
