Eurex today announced a new market-making model and lower fees for its Eurex Bonds electronic trading platform, according to a news release. As part of the new model, existing market makers will have to offer constantly updated quotes for at least three products traded on the Eurex Bonds platform: basis products, a combination of bond and futures contracts; benchmark German government bonds; and all other tradable German government bonds. Eurex also is lowering fees, so long as all contracts are fulfilled. So far, 12 of the 23 Eurex Bonds participants are supplying the updated information.
