Global Broking revenue grew 10% in the third quarter of 2019 from the equivalent period last year and was 1% lower in the first nine months of 2019 with strong performance in Rates offsetting weaker performance in Credit and Equities.

Energy & Commodities performance was very strong and revenue grew 24% in the third quarter of 2019 relative to the equivalent period last year and 13% in the nine months to end-September 2019 as a result of selective hires and recent acquisitions, with encouraging macro conditions across the majority of our Energy & Commodities products, especially oil.

In terms of outlook, TP ICAP reiterated its previous guidance. In the face of the robust performance in the third quarter, the full year guidance of low single-digit revenue growth on a constant currency basis for 2019 remains unchanged.
