Data notes & caveats
Foreign-exchange swaps are distinct from cross-currency swaps, and margin trading is a very small published category. The six shares sum to the full market.
Methodology
All six published transaction-type values were divided by the official July 2025 net-turnover total. No instrument category was omitted or merged.
Source consistency notes
Every segment uses one official release, one month, one US-dollar valuation and the same total-market denominator.
