Delayed trac-x Europe launches today

Trac-x Europe, part of a family of credit default swap indexes being assembled by JP Morgan Chase and Morgan Stanley, debuted trading today. A funded format is due to start trading the week of June 30. This follows a delay of about six weeks.

JP Morgan Chase and Morgan Stanley, which have combined their respective Jeci and Tracers synthetic credit indexes in an attempt to boost overall liquidity associated with a joint product, blamed the delayed implementation of new International Swaps and Derivatives Association credit derivatives master agreements for the revised timetable.

BNP Paribas will also make markets for Trac-x indexes along with JP Morgan Chase and Morgan Stanley. The pair are negotiating with five other potential market-makers.

The combination of the two US banks’ efforts in this area may restrict the ability of rivals to gain sufficient liquidity for their own synthetic credit-indexed products. Risk’s end-user survey in its June issue this year found that 68% of asset managers favoured credit indexes supplied by JP Morgan Chase and Morgan Stanley. The US versions of Trac-x are expected to debut on July 25.
