European fixed-income trading venue MTS has expanded its market coverage to support the trading of inflation-linked gilts. MTS is allowing gilt edged market makers to electronically trade nominal coupon and inflation-linked gilts in the interdealer market and also dealer-to-client through its trading platform BondVision. Electronic trading in the inflation-linked segment has been advantageous to interdealer liquidity in the euro zone markets facilitated by MTS, boosting trading opportunities for dealers and their clients. It also resulted in a 49.3 percent rise in average daily volumes of inflation-linked bonds on the MTS Cash platform and 41.8 percent increase in BondVision business to consumer volume on inflation-linked bonds.
