MTS Markets International, part of the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), and BondCliQ, a corporate bond market data solution, have launched Liquidity Mapping for BondCliQ’s BondTiQ platform.
The tool allows users to view pre- and post-trade information on US corporate bond liquidity. It combines MTS BondsPro’s comprehensive real-time pricing information with BondTiQ’s data visualisation technology and TRACE data.
BondCliQ offers US institutional investors access to high quality pre-trade and post-trade data for the institutional market. 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.
David Parker (pictured), Head of US sales at MTS, says: “We are always looking for new ways to provide the fixed income community with value from our platforms. By harnessing MTS BondsPro’s data to power the Liquidity Mapping tools from BondsTiQ, BondCliQ is able to provide a unique service which enables traders to better understand the market and quickly see prices for their potential trades and existing positions on the BondsPro platform. This is the perfect collaboration between MTS’ heritage in electronic fixed income and innovative new approaches to providing traders and portfolio managers with the tools they need.”
Chris White, Chief Executive Officer, BondCliQ, says: “In today’s market, liquidity is fractured and securing the best price can be a complex challenge. Through this partnership, we are making liquidity visible and allowing traders to understand liquidity flows and identify the right opportunities. MTS BondsPro offers deep, real-time trade data into close to 20,000 US corporate bonds, making them the perfect partner to provide the data to power this innovative tool.”
