FX market round up: CME Group reports strong Q2 earnings

The newly enlarged CME Group, which now also comprises former rival Chicago Board of Trade, says that its second-quarter 2007 total revenues were up 17% to $329 million and net income up 15% to $126 million on the second quarter of 2006. Commenting on the figures, CME Group chief executive Craig Donohue referred to aspects of the exchange’s growth strategy, including FXMarketSpace. In a web broadcast Donohue admitted that volumes fell off in July but that customer "onboarding" had increased and that the joint venture with Reuters remained on track to break even at some point in 2008.
