U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler signaled he’s interested in leveling the playing field in the corporate bond market by making key pricing information available to more investors.
“Many professionals have access to some amount of pre-trade price information in the corporate bond market,” Gensler said in a Tuesday speech. “I wonder if broadening the dissemination of that type of information might make this market more accessible, competitive and liquid.”
