The new tool provides a multi-dimensional interface that supports execution requirements by allowing users to identify sources of liquidity effectively and quickly assess fair value according to the quoted MTS BondsPro market.
MTS BondsPro’s rich market data is sourced from a community of more than 500 broker dealers and buy-side clients participating in its anonymous all-to-all order book. The platform connects markets across the US, Europe and Asia with a 22-hour trading day, providing traders access to over 20,000 bonds with live prices daily.
