BrokerTec is pleased to announce the integration of clearing of euro-denominated securities in collaboration with LCH Group via Sponsored Clearing. This enables clients to efficiently clear securities through BrokerTec Quote, greatly accelerating trading opportunities and growing the reach of the platform's bilateral, relationship-driven alternative execution service.
The inclusion of euro securities follows up the existing partnership between BrokerTec and LCH Group for Gilt Repo. The addition of this currency allows members to access LCH's deep liquidity pool, which averaged 3.3 trillion euros worth of daily outstanding liquidity in Q1, enabling fresh netting and risk management opportunities.

The market-wide €STR First initiative is having a sizable impact on trading activity. Average top-of-book depth has expanded by over 400% across the front eight contracts, while the average bid/offer spreads have narrowed by 25%. Trading activity has also extended further out on the curve while inter-commodity spreads have also received record attention.
RV Curve savings: Surging market volatility has increased the appeal of RV Curve trades, which feature no legging risk and the additional savings available from the program's "excess efficiencies." Savings are achieved by trades being done in a yield format, which leads to better prices than original spread orders due to rounding. These spread improvements could prove to be crucial in today's choppy market, especially when coupled with the fact that this program provided traders with $8 per million in savings in 2022.
Fed's path ahead: The Fed is in a quandary over what to do with rates in the near-term.

Eric Norland offers his perspective in this recent video, The Fed's Balancing Act.
