BONDS: OTC marketplace operator Tradeweb reported heavy volumes in September:

- "Tradeweb reports average daily volumes of $592.4 billion for the month of

September 2018, a 27.5% increase over the same period in 2017 and a 19.5%

increase over August 2018 totals."

- "This is the highest monthly volume ever recorded by Tradeweb. Year-to-date

trading volume has now surpassed the $100 trillion mark, topping Tradeweb's

total volume for 2017."

- "Tradeweb's record September volumes were fuelled in large part by a 24.7%

year-over-year increase in U.S. Government Bond trading volume and a 20.3%

year-over-year increase in European Government Bond trading volume. This surge

coincided with increasing government bond yields in the U.S. and Europe."
