CME Group Inc. reported fourth-quarter net income of $814.6 million, with earnings per share of $2.24. Adjusted earnings per share were $2.37, exceeding Wall Street expectations of $2.27 per share. The company's revenue for the quarter was $1.44 billion, surpassing Street forecasts of $1.43 billion. The strong earnings were driven by interest-rate products, with the U.S. Federal Reserve's interest-rate hikes in the previous year boosting CME's average daily volume (ADV) to a record-high. Interest rate ADV surged 35.8% to 13.3 million contracts in the quarter, while total ADV rose 17% to 25.5 million contracts. Clearing and transaction fees, which make up the largest chunk of CME's revenue, jumped 20.7% to $1.18 billion.
