The XM2M pricing service incorporates daily reported trade data, and bid and offer quotes from over 100 sources.

In that respect, we see great value and compelling logic in working with Xtrakter and tapping into their rich supply of comprehensive bond market trade and quote data,” added Peter Jones.
