Weekly Highlights

  • Market wide execution conditions stabilized during a much quieter second week of the month versus the first. Compared to the directionality of the opening week of November, both the VIX and SPX remained in narrow bands last week. Although volumes declined with volatility, average trade size, spreads, post trade quote stability and intraday volume profiles all remained relatively consistent . If anything, Large-cap VWAP slippage likely trended lower, while Smid-cap market share of the tape increased.

  • IntelligentCross remained above 170bps of market share of the total consolidated volume (TCV) last week and continued to provide best of breed post trade performance measured by quote stability and markouts.The platform also saw its best week ever for matched shares coming from IOC order types in Smid-cap names reflecting increased activity and over 7 million Smid-cap orders of round lot and larger displayed on our free market data feed, IQX.
