SwapsInfo

A planned system upgrade by the DTCC SDR on November 21st, 2020 changed reporting logic for the cleared status of trades. Following the upgrade, the percentage of IRD trades indicated to be cleared appeared lower than historical averages as firms switched to the new reporting logic.

ISDA is expanding its SwapsInfo analysis to include interest rate derivatives (IRD) trading activity reported in Europe. The analysis, believed to be the first of its kind, is based on transactions publicly reported by 30 European approved publication arrangements and trading venues for May 2021.
