"We were especially pleased to see so many clients outside the U.S. turning to CME Group to access the markets and trade products they needed to navigate through ongoing economic and geopolitical uncertainty last year," said Julie Winkler, senior managing director and chief commercial officer, CME Group. "Looking ahead, risk management will remain essential in 2025, and we are focused on helping our clients to manage risk and unlock opportunities."
