It's been too long since i wrote about Eris / #Treasury Swap Spreads (ETSS). We've had some fun, recent developments in this product and thus, I feel it's timely to revisit! 🤔 What are ETSS? 💡 ETSS are #spread trades. With a spread trade, the user is buying one position and selling another. Rather than executing these trades separately, and taking the risk of one moving while the other does not - also known as "leg risk" - ETSS give users the ability to take both positions at once, eliminating the leg risk of one position's price relative to the other. A common example is the Eris #SOFR - #Treasury futures (e.g., 5y Eris SOFR vs 5y US T-Note Futures). 🤔 Who are common users of ETSS? 💡Trading spreads is common in the inter-dealer markets to manage overall spread positioning due to end user swap flows. Hedge funds may use ETSS to take views on swap spreads to address swap flow needs. And institutional asset managers may use ETSS to rebalance swap spread positioning based on changes in their investment portfolios. 😎 Interested in learning more? Send me a note!

📊 Gold Technical Outlook Inspired by Axis Securities Limited Securities 🔎💡 I recently read a fantastic report from Axis Securities Limited Securities, where they presented a clear and insightful analysis of Gold’s technical setup. They identified two key bullish patterns: 📌A bullish flag breakout 📌A reverse head-and-shoulders formation, with targets between $2,730 - $2,750 and a longer-term target at $2,818. Their detailed work inspired me to take a closer look at the chart myself. I see the same patterns playing out, but in my own analysis, I believe Gold is approaching a crucial trendline resistance around $2,760 - $2,800. While the targets they’ve highlighted are possible, this resistance may cause a short-term reversal or consolidation before Gold resumes its upward move. Here’s the chart with both patterns and my trendline marked! Let’s see how it unfolds. 📈 🔔 Stay updated for more insights and stock analysis! ❤️✨ Follow VIGNESH M ( Δ Γ θ ) for more Stock Chart 📈🔎 Disclaimer ✅ - https://lnkd.in/g-cZneH5 #TechnicalAnalysis #Gold ##Investing #Finance #LinkedIn #StockMarket #Trading #CFA #CMT #NISM #EquityResearch #StockAnalysis #AxisSecurities #Stock #love

If you’re holding on to physical shares, it’s now time to convert them to demat. According to SEBI’s mandate, the shares must be dematerialized for you to continue trading.  But why the urgency?  The mandate stems from a desire to make the process quicker, more transparent, and efficient.  Want to know more about how you can convert your physical shares to demat?

As always, a thoughtful Finadium report on critical issues for secured funding markets. The benefits of securities finance execution platforms are becoming better understood. I note that the report flags that such platforms should have standardized messaging protocols and “robust post-trade processing” connectivity to clients and third party vendors. Guaranteed Repo incorporates these elements, resulting in global scalability. The report also notes that “some bank-affiliated agent lenders are moving forward with guarantees and indemnification for selected clients in place of the bank’s balance sheet”. These structures are more efficient from a capital/RWA and cost basis than any other secured funding model, but they also result in a substantial increase in operational demands, for both trading and post-trade components. Idiosyncratic solutions to manage the complexity of this model are inefficient. Guaranteed Repo is built to provide scalability for securities financing transactions. It integrates standardized documentation, electronic trading and post-trade collateral management that permits clients to use their existing custodians. It is a global solution that can accommodate multiple asset classes. Critically, it is a standalone solution that is not affiliated with individual market participants. These features are difficult (if not impossible) to replicate in idiosyncratic solutions developed by individual firms. The report mentions that redundancy and resilience are the most important issues for users when deciding on platforms. The unprecedented changes facing secured funding markets as a result of regulation makes optionality even more important than usual. And it also means that solutions supported by vendors with proven track records are even more useful. Please see Shiv Rao and SUNTHAY for more information on Guaranteed Repo.

With market participants continuing to see margin, capital and operational efficiencies from #FXClearing, #LCH #ForexClear saw significant growth in April 2024 with new records in #FXOptions volume and #FX options average daily volume (ADV), and year-on-year increases in client NDF ADV.

Absolutely nonsense. there is no family relationship between Riad Salame and Antoine Salame. Optimum is a brokerage firm, it act as broker for either buyers or sellers. Securities settlements are made at MidClear which settle trades as instructed "pay upon receipt". MidClear insure that payment to optimum is made upon its delivery of the bond or vice versa. By optimum matching the settlement date of both transactions (buy and sell), optimum will not need to borrow from BDL. Most likely, Bdl placed Eurobond buy orders at optimum. Optimum ln turn, bought the bonds from the open market to fill the orders of Bdl. why only optimum? Its market norm not to place buy orders with more than one broker to not push_up the price. Thus, competing against ones self.
