Inventory Spread Movements
Oct. 5, 2011Keep track of how dealers adjust their offering spreads in response to market activity and trade flows. As in the image above, each day we'll show how many Agency ARMS are offered Wider/Tighter/Unchanged to the previous day's levels. All the numbers are hyperlinked, so you can click through to see exactly what bonds are offered wider today than yesterday.

More sectors to be added soon.
Easy Access to Recent Searches
Sept. 27, 2011Recent search activity will now appear under a drop-down menu on each page below our man ListMetrics box. The box will store up to the last ten searches performed and is deleted once you log out. Thus, upon a new session, no drop down menu will appear until some new searches have been made.
MBS Data available via API
Sept. 15, 2011Our API has been extended to encompass our ABS/MBS Trade Database. Now it's even easier to embed the only commercial source of MBS Market Data into your own internal systems. Just hit our site with a cusip and authorization signature, and we'll return all the data we have for the bond (trade data, dealer price talk, and dealer offerings).

Add Bonds to Portfolio with 1 Click
Aug. 30, 2011Add bonds to your portfolio quickly and seamlessly by just clicking your mouse on most bond search and view screens. Just click on the button under the +Actions+ section.
