Real-time CDS Price Discovery

Accurate, timely OTC price data with integrated analytics

CMA's real-time price discovery solution provides front office professionals with the reliable OTC credit pricing information they need, enabling them to make better-informed trading decisions, faster.

You may receive many thousands of credit prices in emails a day from your trading partners, making it difficult to compare and analyse prices and assess market sentiment. Our price discovery solution extracts, validates, scrubs and cleans this data, giving you a structured view of your live quotes in real time and a clear view of the market.
