During the March quarter, IEX faced supply-side constraints, leading to a slight decline in trade volume. The overall trade volume for the quarter stood at 26.1 billion units (BUs), compared to 27 BUs during the same period last year.
For the entire fiscal year 2022-23, IEX traded 96.8 BUs, down from 101.9 BUs in the previous year. The decrease in trade volume was primarily attributed to sell-side liquidity constraints affecting the market.
