Repo volumes Crest reached $200 billion for the first time in decade as total average daily trading volumes (ADV) were $211.5 billion in repo traded during May, according to Tradeweb.

This marked an increase of 43 percent year-over-year and the first time repo market volumes exceeded the $200 billion threshold since March 2009.

Across all asset class, May 2019 set a new record in total trading volume with ADV of 741.8 billion, up 38.7 percent year-over-year, Tradeweb found.

According to Tradeweb, the strong volumes were driven by a rise in trading of short-term tenors as well as continued growth in overall trading volumes.

Tradeweb also discovered that short-term rates trading surged as activity in rates derivatives increased 94.0 percent year-over-year in May, reaching a total ADV of $228.1 billion.

Of this, Tradeweb said this was predominantly driven by an increase in trading of swaps and swaptions under one year in duration.
