The ISDA-Clarus RFR Adoption Indicator rose to 60.6% in July 2023 compared to 58.1% in June 2023. The indicator tracks how much global trading activity (as measured by DV01) is conducted in cleared over-the-counter and exchange-traded interest rate derivatives (IRD) that reference risk-free rates (RFRs) in eight major currencies. On a traded notional basis, the percentage of RFR-linked IRD increased to 57.9% of total IRD transacted in July 2023 compared to 55.6% the prior month.
