RBS extends electronic rates swaps to Asia

Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) has extended the trading hours of electronic trading of US dollar interest rate swaps on Bloomberg to include Asian business hours.

The move mimics Barclays Capital, which became the first bank to offer such swaps electronically to the Asian market via its Barx platform in February 2005.

Michelle Neal, head of debt markets e-commerce at RBS, said the bank had already traded its first contract in Hong Kong with an Asian counterparty via the service.
