US Treasury market debate around hedge fund collateral intensifies
Tuesday, 21 November 2023
US regulators are preparing to implement rules that would require more trading in Treasuries to be conducted in a central clearing venue. The focus now is on determining how much collateral hedge funds and other participants should put up to trade there. The industry is divided on the issue, with some arguing that minimum collateral requirements would raise trading costs and curb market liquidity, while others believe it is necessary to guard against a potential collapse in the bond market.
