Allow me to copy paste what one md of an investment bank said in yesterdays business daily...
...said it was unlikely that banks would significantly affect trading volumes as most investors “will not have faith” in the OTC market.
“Stock brokers will not cut back on the dealing desks because it is unlikely that the plan will succeed, banks should concentrate on lending to the market not taking deposits only to invest in bonds.”
Under the proposed OTC market, buyers and sellers of financial securities agree on the payable price while at the ATS, market forces help to price the bond.
As i said earlier i believe bank dealers wouldn't want to deal between themselves they rather let brokers do all the hustling then get back to them with a preferred rate.By the way its only one or two banks who want this...
possunt quia posse videntur
