Sure! Here’s the translation to American English:
During the month of August, the Fixed Income market experienced a notable surge on the SIX Swiss Exchange, where the issuance volume reached 8.6 billion Swiss francs. This figure represents a 28% increase compared to July and an impressive 157.1% compared to the same month last year. It’s also worth noting that BME recorded a 31.4% increase in Fixed Income trading volume compared to August 2024. In total, during the year 2025, 80.5 billion euros have been traded in this segment, equivalent to a growth of 20.8% in the first eight months of the year compared to the previous period.
The success in the Fixed Income market is not the only positive indicator; there has also been a significant increase in the number of structured product issuances on the SIX Swiss Exchange, where 11,354 new products were listed in August. This increase brings the total number of new issuances to 112,489, already surpassing the previous annual record of 110,792.
Despite these achievements, the total trading volume on the SIX Swiss Exchange was more than 75.4 billion Swiss francs in August, and the BME Exchange reported 32 billion euros. However, both figures are below those of previous months, largely due to seasonality in the market.
Regarding stock indices, the IBEX 35® showed a 3.7% increase in August, closing at 14,936 points, reflecting a growth of 28.8% compared to the previous year. Similarly, the Swiss SMI® index also advanced by 3%, ending the month at 12,187.6 points, with an increase of 5.1% so far this year.
Gregor Braun, Head of Cash Market Sales at SIX Exchanges, commented on these results, stating that “the Fixed Income segments have shown strength in the markets of Switzerland and Spain.” He also emphasized the growing interest from investors in new issuances and the increase in trading volume, reaffirming SIX Swiss Exchange and BME Exchange’s commitment to supporting this growth in dynamic and established markets.
