On Wednesday, the FIA published its fourth issue of FIA SEF Tracker, a periodic report on trading activity taking place on swap execution facilities (SEF).

The report disclosed that overall June volume was higher than any other month since the beginning of mandatory SEF trading earlier this year, driven mainly by increased trading in interest rate and credit products.

FIA publishes the SEF Tracker monthly, using public data collected directly from the SEFs. The report also includes similar data from trading venues that have opted to register with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission as designated contract markets.

Walt?Lukken, President and CEO of?FIA, said in a press release,??Now that we?ve produced four issues of the SEF Tracker, we?re able to make useful comparisons from month to month. As new rules and regulations are being implemented, FIA is committed to providing data and analyses that contribute to informed decision making.?
