As we have just enhanced our SDR View tool to show Credit trades from DTCC DDR, I thought I would look into the CDS Index trading activity and how it had been impacted by the first Dodd-Frank Act mandatory clearing deadline of March 11, 2013 and the second upcoming deadline of June 10, 2013. Highlights from this analysis for CDS Index NA IG, include:
- From May, Cleared Volumes have risen to be between $6-10 billion per week higher than Uncleared
- This is most likely due to firms impacted by the June 10 deadline, deciding to start clearing early.
- The percentage of Cleared trades has risen from 32% in January to around 58% now, which while a significant increase, is still much lower then the Cleared percentage observed for USD IR Swaps of 75%.
