INFORMATION BY MARKET/ORDER BOOK
Danish bonds may be traded on five different markets having different trading functionality:
The Cash Bond Trading (ordinary) market
This ordinary market offers auto match of orders as well as trade reporting for publication of OTC trades and SI trades (APA trades).
The Auction markets
There are four different auction markets. Main reason for this is the need to differentiate the different auction purposes. The different markets are identified by a suffix - BB, ILS, ISS and TAP.
-
BB: Used for Buy Back Auctions, i.e. used by issuers to buy back bonds issued earlier – trades have standard settlement period
-
ILS: Used for periodic issuing auctions where trades usually have relatively long settlement periods
-
ISS: Used for periodic issuing auctions where trades have standard settlement period
-
TAP: Used for daily TAP-issues, i.e. used by issuers for the daily new issuance of bonds – trades have standard settlement period
Trades executed in the BB, ISS and TAP markets are included in the price statistics calculated for Danish bonds, whereas trades executed in the ILS market are excluded due to non-standard settlement periods.
