About this Episode
In this episode, Chris Barnes discusses his recent blog post, "What's New in Yen Swaps in 2024." The blog post covers four key topics:
- The end of Yen TIBOR and the transition to the Yen RFR (TONA)
- The ongoing battle for market share between LCH SwapClear and JSCC in clearing Yen swaps
- The recent volatility in the CCP basis for Yen swaps
- The explosion in volume of TONA futures trading
Chris Barnes finds the volatility in the CCP basis to be particularly interesting, as it's not well-understood and there's little transparency into the market.
