The IBKR ForecastEx contract trading platform has just recorded a total cumulative notional value exceeding $1 billion, with approximately $388 million in the past three months alone. The data shows that trading activity has begun to recover, likely benefiting from the strong growth of Kalshi since last year, as the forecast contract market attracts increasing interest from investors.
However, in the short term, ForecastEx’s weekly trading volume still fluctuates between $30 million and $80 million, reflecting a certain level of market caution as well as varying trading demand. IBKR ForecastEx is a Forecast Contracts trading service operated by ForecastEx LLC and provided through the platform of Interactive Brokers (IBKR). With a trading scale exceeding $1 billion, ForecastEx is gradually affirming its position in the forecast contract segment, although the growth trend still needs more time to solidify.
