Eurex Bonds RfQ: RfQ platform ready for simulation, timeline for vendor integration (ION, icubic)

Eurex Bonds will introduce a Request for Quote (RfQ) platform for negotiation of trades on 3 April 2017. For platform access, Eurex Bonds will provide a new user friendly web-based GUI as well as a FIX connectivity for integration in vendor applications.

RfQ provides a convenient and highly flexible functionality for traders to negotiate prices for off-book trades and to execute them faster and more efficiently. It also takes the user experience to the newest market standard by replacing the current execution GUI.

With this circular, the timelines for accessing the simulation environment as well as the availability of vendor gateways from ION and icubic is communicated.
