Head of trading: Fed and issuance signals «strong week»; and navigating pre-and post-trade analytics

Markets could be in store for a strong week following the Federal Reserve’s, deeper-than-expect, interest cut of 50bps, on September 18, in addition to the healthy issuance pipeline for the rest of the year, says Sven Rudolf, head of trading at ODDO BHF Asset Management.

In this episode, Rudolf discusses why it’s an important week for data, whether it’s the right time to put cash to work, and why he’s paying close attention to the new issue calendar.

The head of trading also provides insights into the breakdown of ODDO BHF AM’s electronic and voice trading strategy and why he thinks that automation has its limits.

Rudolf additionally unpacks how his buy-side firm is using real-time analytics; how it approaches transaction cost analysis and what stage the industry is at in being able to feed these types of data into the execution process using automation.
