The document discusses the value of swap data reported to Swap Data Repositories (SDRs) under Dodd-Frank regulations. It notes that for the first time, all market participants have access to data on swap transaction prices, sizes, and volumes. This transparency allows firms to understand market pricing and liquidity to inform their own trading activities. The document then describes the features of the SDR View software which aggregates and visualizes SDR swap data to provide users insights into recent and historical swap market prices, volumes, and their own market share.

1. 1
The Dodd-Frank Act requires all OTC Derivatives trades to
be reported in real-time to a Swaps Data Repository (SDR).
SDRs are required to publicly disseminate this data.
What is the value of this data?
For the first time, everyone has
access to data on what has traded,
at what price and what size.
Previously only Swap Dealers and
Inter-Dealer Brokers had access to
such detailed trade flow.
Now any firm that needs to trade
can use this information to
understand for a specific currency
and product, where market prices
are trading, what liquidity exists;
both today and historically.
This transparency is analogous to
that which exists in Futures.
It reflects the political and
economic trend for all markets, in
goods or services, to provide
transparency on their transactions.
Why SDR View?
You need to know what trades
have taken place today, in what size
and what price for a trade you are
interested in making.
For example USD Swaps or USD
Swaptions.
You need to know this not just for
today but for yesterday, this week,
last week or any period.
You need to know the volume
traded in a product and currency.
You need to know the average
price, high and low price and
average notional of these trades.
You need to establish your market
share for a specific product or your
pricing relative to the market.
