EM Rates electronification accelerates despite structural challenges
Trader TV, London
Electronification in emerging markets (EM) rates is gaining momentum despite ongoing challenges linked to market fragmentation, data inconsistencies, and price discovery in over-the-counter (OTC) markets, says Vikas Gupta, head of Asia Currencies and emerging markets, and Cynthia Sin Win, head of APAC e-FICC sales at JP Morgan. Speaking to Trader TV, the JP Morgan executives say that around 50% of the bank’s EM rates trading volume is now executed electronically, with hedge funds leading adoption. Despite this progress, key hurdles remain, including pricing discovery and efficient risk management. Amongst this, they unpack the growing role of AI, data analytics, and automation in resolving these issues and driving further electronification.
