The first interdealer non-deliverable forward (NDF) trade has been delivered to LCH.Clearnet’s ForexClear service through the recently established link with Traiana’s Harmony CCP Connect. The trade was a US dollar/South Korean won NDF, and HSBC was one of the trading parties.
Andrew Coyne, CEO of Traiana, said: “Traiana built direct connectivity to LCH.Clearnet’s ForexClear at the specific request of our client base, so we're very excited at how quickly the service has been adopted.”
Jacqueline Liau, global head of product and service for FX Prime at HSBC, said: "This direct connectivity gives HSBC, and the industry, an efficient and flexible way to quickly adapt to changing regulations.”
Traiana’s Harmony CCP Connect provides CCP connectivity, trade routing, affirmation, matching, allocation, and reporting for OTC foreign exchange options and NDFs.
Market participants looking to clear foreign exchange trades under the new Dodd-Frank and EMIR regulations can leverage their existing foreign exchange prime broker connectivity together with Harmony CCP Connect’s matching and affirmation capabilities to get direct access to CCPs.
