Tradeweb Markets Inc. said the EU’s revised post-trade transparency regime for bonds, which went live on 2 March 2026, is already increasing near-term visibility of trading activity, based on its first two days of venue data. In EU sovereign bonds on Tradeweb’s EU MTF, real-time volume publication rose to about 18% from 9% previously, while the share of volume in the longest deferral bucket fell to 44% and 33% became visible within 15 minutes. In EU corporate bonds, real-time volume publication climbed to about 31% from 9%, and 71% of notional was visible within one trading day, alongside a sharp drop in maximum-deferral usage. Tradeweb cautioned that two days is too early for structural conclusions and said further changes could emerge as participants adjust and as additional sovereign-bond deferral provisions take effect on 4 May 2026.
