Due to the increased volatility on the financial markets in the last week of February, monthly volumes on Deutsche Börse's cash market platforms were significantly higher than in the previous year.

In February, trading volumes amounted to EUR 183 billion compared with EUR 116 billion year-on-year, which corresponds to an increase of almost 60 percent. With 2.8 million orders executed and a trading volume of EUR 18.6 billion, last Friday (February 28) was the day with the highest trading volume on Xetra since 2008.

Of the total of EUR 183 billion euros, EUR 153.8 billion were attributable to Xetra (previous year: EUR 104 billion), bringing the average daily Xetra trading volume to EUR 7.7 billion (previous year: EUR 5.2 billion).

Trading volume on Börse Frankfurt was EUR 5.6 billion (previous year: EUR 2.8 billion) and on Tradegate Exchange EUR 23.6 billion (previous year: EUR 9.2 billion).

The DAX stock with the highest turnover on Xetra in February was SAP SE with EUR 7.0 billion. Commerzbank AG led the MDAX equities with EUR 1.6 billion, while RIB Software SE led the SDAX index with EUR 625 million.

In the exchange-traded fund (ETF) segment, the iShares Core DAX UCITS ETF generated the largest volume with EUR 1 billion.
