Date 13/03/2018

CUSIP Global Services (CGS) today announced the release of its CUSIP Issuance Trends Report for February 2018. The report, which tracks the issuance of new security identifiers as an early indicator of debt and capital markets activity, found a steady volume in CUSIP requests for new corporate equities and debt, but sharp decreases in the municipal bond market.

TT® At Three: The Next Wave - By: Rick Lane, CEO, March 13, 2018

Date 13/03/2018

At the start of last year’s FIA Conference in Boca Raton, I wrote a blog comparing the TT platform to my twin toddlers (all three turned two that year). With another year and many milestones under their belt, my now 3 ½ year old children seem to have become…actual people. Whereas the first couple years seemed to be packed with equal parts novelty and anxiety, now life is really all about getting used to the new normal: that we have two more roommates living with us.

European Equities LiquidityMatrix February 2018, By TABB Group's Tim Cave

Date 13/03/2018

February proved to be a strong test for the equity market structure forged by MiFID II at the start of 2018. Market volatility returned with a vengeance, bringing with it increased volume, but the markets reacted well. New venues, such as systematic internalisers and periodic auction books, continued to grow, but at a slower rate. One surprise during the month was a reduction in the number of Large-In-Scale Trades, both notionally and as a proportion of the dark market, perhaps evident of an inverse relationship to volatility. Every month, TABB Group’s European Equities Liquidity Matrix™ provides the industry with a breakdown of market share for each major equity execution channel, including lit venues, dark MTFs, block venues, periodic auction books and systematic internalisers.

European Commission: Speech By President Juncker At The Plenary Session Of The European Parliament On The Guidelines On The Framework Of Future EU-UK Relations

Date 13/03/2018

Ten days ago Prime Minister May gave us some more clarity on how the UK sees its future relationship with the EU.

As my good friend John Bruton wrote in a recent article: "The most valuable test that Mrs May wishes to apply to a Brexit agreement is that it should be one that would endure, and not require constant renegotiation."

I could not agree more, which means that everything that we say and that we do, on both sides, will require the utmost of clarity to help us pass the test.
