Markit Securities Finance Adds BNY Mellon USD Repo Data

UK-based data vendor Markit has integrated trade data on US dollar tri-party repurchase agreements representing outstanding positions valued at more than $1 trillion from BNY Mellon into the reports and analysis that its Markit Securities Finance business provides to banks, fund managers, insurers and corporate clients, along with two years' of historical repo trade data, to provide "a comprehensive dataset for collateral and funding managers," that delivers greater visibility into the drivers of market-, sector- and security-level pricing, and into maturities, haircuts, and collateral type and quality, officials say.
