Tradeweb reports that European government bond volumes continued to be strong in March, while primary market issuance remained robust across Europe and the UK.
The institutional business saw strong volumes driven by increased adoption across a wide range of protocols and the acquisition of algorithmic trading technology provider r8fin.

In credit markets, fully electronic US credit ADV has risen 69.1 per cent YoY to US$7.5 billion. European credit ADV also increased 52.7 per cent YoY to US$2.8 billion.
Tradeweb indicates that the combination of quantitative tightening, heightened collateral supply and current rates market activity shifted more balances from the Federal Reserve’s reverse repo facility to money markets.
