ISDA® Launches Swapsinfo Website
by Practical Law Finance
| Published on 11 Feb 2014 • USA (National/Federal) |
ISDA has launched the SwapsInfo website, designed to enhance transparency in the over-the-counter derivatives markets by consolidating publicly available data on interest rate derivatives and credit default swaps.
On February 6, 2014, ISDA® launched the SwapsInfo website, which is designed to consolidate and make available public data on interest rate swaps and credit default swaps (CDS). The site is free to the general public and provides, among other things:
- Interactive charts for interest rate derivatives that include information on:
- daily volume-weighted average prices and trading volumes for selected products, as of January 2013; and
- weekly notional outstanding and trade count for a range of interest rate products from 2012.
- Interactive charts for CDS that include information on:
- daily volume-weighted average prices and trading volumes for selected products, as of January 2013;
- weekly gross and net notional outstanding and trade count for both single-name and index CDS, from 2008; and
- weekly market risk activity, measured by notional outstanding and trade count, from 2010.
- Monthly market commentary, in which ISDA highlights trends in the over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives markets.
The ISDA SwapsInfo site may ultimately include other price, notional and trade count information as well as information on other asset classes active in the OTC derivatives market in the future. Comments and suggestions may be submitted via [email protected].
