CME Group Expands Credit and Mortgage Solutions with BrokerTec Quote Platform
In a rapidly changing financial landscape, CME Group is making significant strides in expanding its fixed income offerings to help clients navigate the evolving market. Sara Carter and John Edwards of BrokerTec recently spoke with Eric Leininger, executive director of financial research and product development, about the expansion of credit and mortgage solutions to meet the needs of market participants.
With interest rates at two-decade highs and economic uncertainty looming, market participants are seeking sophisticated tools and innovative strategies to manage their exposure in fixed income markets. CME Group has responded to this demand by launching To-Be-Announced (TBA) futures based on 30-year conforming mortgages, T-Bill futures, and credit futures based on Bloomberg’s suite of aggregate bond indices.
The expansion into fixed income markets includes the launch of BrokerTec Quote platform, which offers solutions for repo financing in mortgages and credit. This move is seen as a significant development for CME Group and the fixed income industry as a whole, positioning the company as a major player in the fixed income financing space.
BrokerTec Quote’s client-centric model focuses on continuous improvement and collaboration with clients to enhance user experience. The platform’s global reach and secure relationships with regulatory authorities ensure a seamless trading experience for clients across different regions.
With the rise in cyber attacks, CME Group is prioritizing business continuity by providing a secure platform that minimizes disruptions and ensures uninterrupted service for clients. The platform also offers financing market data on European repo and enables clients to make informed decisions and optimize their trading strategies.
Overall, the expansion of fixed income offerings through BrokerTec Quote platform is aimed at simplifying the management of credit and mortgage exposure for clients, allowing them to navigate market complexities with confidence. By integrating innovative solutions and client feedback, CME Group is poised to provide a comprehensive suite of tools for risk management and financing in the fixed income markets.
