The US has become the top global trading hub for over-the-counter interest rate derivatives, overtaking the UK after an exodus from Europe's negative rate environment drove surging demand for dollar-denominated swaps. Average daily turnover of US dollar contracts more than doubled to US$1.4trn from US$639bn between April 2013 and April 2016, according to the Bank for International Settlements' latest Triennial Central Bank Survey of foreign exchange and OTC derivatives activity. Data collected by authorities across 52 jurisdictions show that the surge in US volume contributed to a 15% increase in global OTC derivatives activity over the three-year period, with daily turnover hitting US$2.7trn-equivalent in April 2016.
