CME Group reported a significant increase in profits for the third quarter of 2024, driven by record trading volumes amid ongoing market uncertainty. The company achieved revenues of $1.6 billion and an operating income of $1.0 billion. Net income reached $913 million, translating to diluted earnings per share of $2.50. On an adjusted basis, net income was $977 million, with diluted earnings per share rising to $2.68. This surge in profitability was largely attributed to a notable uptick in interest-rate trading, which has become a key focus for the firm as it navigates a fluctuating market environment.
