Weekly Highlights

  • Market trade execution conditions continue to be favorable. Post-trade quote instability and spreads continue to decline while average daily volumes and trade sizes have normalized for most security types, with the notable exception of ETFs, where both measures remain near the lows for the year, but surprisingly with inversely leveraged ETFs holding up better.

  • Nevertheless, ETFs remain an important segment representing over 25% of the market’s notional traded last week. And IntelligentCross remains an important source of ETF liquidity. Last week, orders in ETFs had their highest hit rates of the year, especially those displayed on our free market data feed IQX, where we saw over 11.5 million orders of round-lot or larger per day.

  • This helped drive ETF matched shares on the platform to their highest share of total consolidated volume ever.

  • If you're not already using our platform to optimize your trading performance, we encourage you to get in touch. Our displayed quotes are available through our market data feed, IQX, which you can access directly, or through Exegy, MayStreet, Redline, and ACTIV.
