Deutsche Bank and BayernLB have executed the first trades on Bloomberg to be cleared via EurexOTC Clear for IRS.
The ability to trade and automatically clear EurexOTC Clear for IRS deals makes the execution and processing of these trades significantly easier for Bloomberg users.
Richard Jackson, Head of European Flow Rates Trading, Deutsche Bank explained: “Choice in execution and clearing has been a driving factor for innovation in recent years. The ability to execute OTC derivatives on Bloomberg with STP trade flow to Eurex Clearing is a valuable improvement for the industry”.
Marc Burgheim, Head of FX & Interest Rate Derivatives of BayernLB also welcomed the expansion: “We welcome this new option to execute and clear with Eurex Clearing. This development increases the flexibility for us around both execution venues and managing the exposures of our cleared portfolios.”
Matthias Graulich, Chief Client Officer of Eurex Clearing, said: “Broadening trade execution choice for our clearing service is an important objective for Eurex Clearing – the possibility to execute via Bloomberg and clear via Eurex Clearing marks a major milestone to further expand our distribution channels.”
