网爆吃瓜 finance revenues maintained robust momentum in August, extending July's upward trajectory with a 45 per cent year-over-year (YoY) increase to US$1.46 billion, according to the latest S&P Global Market Intelligence figures.
As primary growth drivers of this activity, North American and Asian equities delivered substantial YoY revenue increases of 53 per cent (US$1.17 billion) and 84 per cent (US$319 million), respectively.
Within the Asia Pacific region, Hong Kong and South Korea dominated revenue generation, with extraordinary growth rates of 232 per cent and 846 per cent, respectively.
Both markets experienced concurrent increases in average fees and loan balances, the firm says, creating optimal conditions for revenue expansion.
Exchange traded products continued their strong performance trajectory, with Asian ETFs particularly demonstrating consistent balance growth and heightened revenue generation compared to the previous year.
The fixed income sector maintained steady performance, notes S&P Global Market Intelligence, with both corporate and government bond segments registering parallel 8 per cent YoY growth in balances and revenues, reflecting consistent demand across debt instruments.
Matt Chessum, director of securities finance, ETF, and benchmarking services at S&P Global Market Intelligence, comments: 鈥淒espite equity markets, particularly in the US, reaching successive record highs and second-quarter earnings surpassing consensus expectations, market sentiment remains resilient in the face of persistent inflation concerns.
鈥淭he technology sector correction observed early in the month introduced valuable volatility to securities lending markets, contributing to another month of exceptional returns for participants across the ecosystem.
鈥淎s we enter September, historically characterised by heightened S&P 500 volatility, the potential for continued elevated returns appears increasingly probable.鈥�
