Inclusion of GoC Bond Futures Inter-Commodity spreads on Bloomberg and LSEG Data & Analytics

The Montréal Exchange is pleased to inform its participants that Canada's Bond Futures inter-commodity spreads are now available on the Bloomberg Terminal as well as on LSEG Data & Analytics' platforms, providing market participants with additional tools to electronically access pricing, liquidity and trading across Canada's yield curve.

 

The integration provides participants with complete access to the inter-commodity spreads between the different bond futures contracts (namely, CGZ, CGF, CGB and LGB) through all Bloomberg's Terminals and Refinitiv's platforms. Through the integration with Bloomberg, a larger group of market participants are now able to view and execute the Bourse's yield curve spread trades, a beneficial functionality to trade at different points on the curve in a single transaction. This will build upon the existing activity for curve spreads (11k ADV for 5Y/10Y; 4k ADV for 2Y/5Y).
