Principal Trading Firm Activity in Treasury Cash Markets
Abstract: This FEDS Note aims to share insights on Treasury cash transactions reported in the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA)'s Trade Reporting and Compliance Engine (TRACE). Following earlier joint FEDS Notes and Liberty Street Economics blog posts that examined aggregate trading volume in the Treasury cash market across venues and security types, this post sheds light on the trading activity of Principal Trade Firms (PTFs) and other market participants that are not registered broker-dealer members of FINRA.

Note: This FEDS Note is the first in a three-part series on Treasury and Agency MBS market structure. The time period under study in this series ends in 2019 and therefore does not consider the significant events that have occurred in Treasury and Agency MBS markets in 2020. These events will no doubt be a subject of study for many years to come and we intend for this series to inform ongoing and future work on this topic.
