All right. Good afternoon. We'll get started with our next fireside. So again, I'm Ben Herbert, on Bill Katz's team. I'm responsible for lead coverage of the exchanges and market structure names. With us is CME's management team. We've got John Pietrowicz, CFO. He's been in this role since early 2015; and also with us is John Peschier, Head of IR. So welcome gentlemen, thanks for joining us.

Benjamin Joseph Herbert - Citigroup Inc, Research Division - VP & AnalystSo I thought we would just start with year-to-date volumes. Just given tough comps from '18, January, February, the February volatility event. So not necessarily surprising to see them down year-over-year, year-to-date. But could you just maybe give us some color on what you're seeing across the platform?
