Average U.S. revenue per share in September 2018 was approximately 8% lower than the average in the second quarter of 2018, due in part to an increase in lower-rate index rebalance trading. 

International Trading Activity

The average daily trading commissions in September 2018 in ITG's Canadian, European and Asia Pacific businesses were down approximately 12% in U.S. dollar terms on a combined basis as compared to the second quarter of 2018 and were down approximately 1% as compared to September 2017. On a blended international basis, there were approximately 20 trading days in both September 2018 and September 2017.
