disclosure for 48 hours.
here with more is claire boston
and brian chappatta.
claire, over the last couple
decades the market has moved to
a more transparent platform.
but now you have a group of
market makers who seem to have
effectively lobbied the industry
regulators to provide more
opacity on how to do business.
claire: this is a trade that has
been asked for for a long
time, by some of the biggest
the corporate bond
world.
they argue that the corporate
bond world has gotten so
illiquid since the financial
crisis, it can be hard to
execute bigger trades.
when a dealmaker takes a chunk
of a bond issue, that can
moved the market and make it
harder to let go of the bonds.
joe: how weird is it to see in
your view the shift away from
greater transparency?
brian: really weird.
this is a big market of
corporate bonds.
