• RFR-linked IRD traded notional accounted for 12.4% of total IRD traded notional in September compared to 8.9% the prior month.
• RFR-linked IRD traded notional was $14.2 trillion versus $8.3 trillion the prior month.
• Total IRD traded notional transacted in September was $115.0 trillion compared to $93.3 trillion the prior month.

• Trading activity in RFR-linked OTC IRD accounted for 79.4% of RFR-linked IRD DV01 transacted in September.
