Bay Markets Speed Dating by Candlelight -The Growth of Twilight Pools

February 3, 2014--With today's fragmented markets, firms are faced with an increasingly wide choice of trading venues on which they can execute their business. The majority of these fall into one of two categories; either lit markets or so-called dark pools of liquidity.

However, there is a third way. An increasing number of market operators are now starting to adopt a "twilight pool" approach, where the level of opacity is controlled to match pre-defined conditions.

A twilight pool is a liquidity venue that is essentially dark, but which illuminates certain elements of information regarding market activity for periods at certain times of day or under specific circumstances, generally for the purpose of attracting more liquidity at those times and matching buyers and sellers. Think of it as speed dating for market participants, but only under semi-lit conditions.

In practice, this can be via colour coding on a trading screen for example, with heat maps showing the best bids and offers for short period of time before hiding them again. These heat maps can show levels of activity in the market, without necessarily giving too much information away, such as any indication of size or depth on the bid or offer. All of this information can also be provided-during the “speed dating” periods - through the venue’s trading API, allowing the data to be picked up by smart order routers, for example.

Merkel Coalition Signals Retreat on Broad Financial-Market Tax

February 3, 2014---German Chancellor Angela Merkel's coalition is ready to accept a levy on stock trades as part of a first step toward a European tax on all financial transactions amid resistance to a broader application.

The retreat, signaled by lawmakers from the two governing parties, may advance Germany’s goal of teaming up with France to enlist Italy and Spain to enact the tax in the four biggest euro-area economies. French Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici, whose country started taxing share transactions last year, said on Jan. 27 that broader fees risk driving investors away.

Trading : ETFs in Europe : Roger Aitken

January 31, 2014--CROWDED HOUSE. Europe's exchange-traded fund (ETF) landscape has certainly become more crowded following BATS Chi-X Europe's launch of a new pan-European platform late last year.

Can the market stomach another and what's the prognosis for 2014? Roger Aitken reports.

Opaque and illiquid. That's how some have described the European ETF market. However, things are changing and there are high hopes for 2014. The evolution though is likely to differ from the US where it all began in 1993 largely for the retail segment.

Lira on the skids as PM's comments fuel volatility

January 30, 2014--Turkey's central bank's massive interest rate hike has done nothing to contain the lira's slide and statements from top government figures are fueling market uncertainty, damaging investor confidence.

The lira was trading at 2.27 against the US dollar on Thursday, well above Wednesday morning's rate of 2.16 after the central bank hiked interest rates to defend the embattled currency.It is feared that the big emergency interest rate hike, prompted by a continuous dive in the lira, will dent Turkey's economic growth.Given current market conditions, politicians should take extreme care not to make comments that could exacerbate ongoing volatility, observers are saying.
