While equities have been on an uptick, total U.S. fixed income securities traded on NASDAQ’s platform saw a decline of 38% year-on-year (y-o-y) in June and Q2. The volume of European fixed income securities also fell significantly in the same period. This decline in fixed income securities is in line with the downtrend the fixed income marketplace has been witnessing of late. The increased commercial and regulatory pressure has resulted in big banks trimming their involvement in fixed income markets, reducing liquidity. In addition, low yields have impacted the market, leading to more equity trading or hoarding of cash. Going forward, we’ll likely see this trend continue owing to the lack of liquidity and low yields being seen in the fixed income market.

The table below shows how the volume of European and U.S. fixed income securities traded on NASDAQ’s platform changed in June and Q2 2016, compared to the same period last year:
