Tim Cave reports on the penetration of electronic trading in fixed income markets in Europe.
Trading volumes on electronic platform Tradeweb are on track for a record year, the company said on Tuesday, adding that volumes on bonds, derivatives and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) had risen 40 percent year-on-year in the first seven months of 2018.
As a fully MiFID II compliant trading protocol, RFQ introduces another element of choice and control to the way buy-side firms can access liquidity in cash equities on-venue, says Adriano Pace, head of equities (Europe) at Tradeweb.
Greater adoption of electronic trading has driven the average trade size down, and alongside that, liquidity in the bond market has evolved. The result? Expanded access to liquidity – especially that available in the retail market has become increasingly relevant to institutional traders. To cater to this demand, Tradeweb has integrated once highly discrete, liquidity pools from the firm’s institutional and Tradeweb Direct platforms.
Over 60% of trading in the U.S. Treasury market is done via electronic trading venues. Many market observers believe this means that the relationships between dealers and bond investors are eroding and that the marketplace has become devoid of human relationships. The reality, however, is that roughly two-thirds of trading – including both electronic and voice – is done in a way in which both counterparties to the trade know with whom they are trading. This is not because technology makes it difficult for the market to operate anonymously, but instead because technology can increasingly be used to enhance the relationships that have allowed the market to function for decades.
