I read a lot of reports stating that this trade is north of 20 trillion dollars. Do you know how this number is calculated? Or if it’s possible to identify other large risks like this? Seems pretty insane to me as someone not in finance.

most data you see in reporting likely comes out of a bloomberg terminal.
