OCC’s Quarterly Report on Bank Trading and Derivatives Activities 2nd Qtr 2009

Executive Summary
• The notional value of derivatives held by U.S. commercial banks increased $1.5 trillion in the first
quarter, or 0.7%, to $203.5 trillion.
• U.S. commercial banks reported revenues of $5.2 billion trading cash and derivative instruments in the
second quarter of 2009, compared to a record $9.8 billion in the first quarter.
• Net current credit exposure decreased 20% to $555 billion.
• Derivative contracts remain concentrated in interest rate products, which comprise 85% of total
derivative notional values. The notional value of credit derivative contracts decreased by 8% during the
quarter to $13.4 trillion.
The OCC’s quarterly report on bank derivatives activities and trading revenues is based on Call Report
information provided by all insured U.S. commercial banks and trust companies, as well as on other published
financial data.
A total of 1,110 insured U.S. commercial banks reported derivatives activities at the end of the second quarter,
an increase of 47 banks from the prior quarter. Nonetheless, most derivatives activity in the U.S. banking
system continues to be dominated by a small group of large financial institutions. Five large commercial banks
represent 97% of the total banking industry notional amounts and 88% of industry net current credit exposure.
