BARRA and MMS International, a unit of Standard & Poor's, launched a joint venture to provide real-time relative value analysis of the U.S. Treasury market. MMS/BARRA Treasury Analytics will deliver issue-specific value analysis, identify issues that are overpriced or underpriced, provide yield curve and spread analysis and relate current yield volatility to historical norms. ``This service was developed in response to customer demand and fills a void in real-time analysis of the most watched and traded market in the world,'' according to John Fitzgerald, an MMS managing director.
