IRD + CDS Analysis for Week Ending May 23, 2014

Posted by & filed under Analysis.

As of May 12, Bloomberg SEF stopped sending its cleared trade data to the DTCC’s trade repository. For this Weekly Analysis ending May 23, we have constructed the IRD and CDS totals by combining DTCC and Bloomberg data. However, Bloomberg data has not been integrated into the SwapsInfo website as of this writing. We will be working to reconcile the DTCC and Bloomberg repositories’ respective data in the weeks ahead.
