AEGIS Markets ended 2Q24 with 30 participating Dealers, including the addition of 2 significant new counterparties during the quarter.

In 2Q24, volume rose by over 20%, and trade count increased by more than 50% compared to the prior year’s quarter.

The two most recent Dealers who have come online bring additional liquidity for our Commercial End Users,” said Chris Payne, President of AEGIS Markets. “We also saw a significant increase in Commercial End User activity available for our Dealers during the quarter. Together, increased liquidity and increased activity hit two of the critical metrics we watch closely to ensure we’re improving hedging markets for all participants.”

This award recognizes excellence and innovation in risk management across the commodities complex and all OTC derivatives platforms. “AEGIS Markets fills a critical role in commodity markets by enabling rapid price discovery, efficient execution, and insightful analytics – all capabilities unique to AEGIS Markets and not possible using traditional hedge execution methods.
