Cantor Market Data Upgrades G3 Vision
New Features Make G3 Vision the First 3-D U.S. Treasury Cash and Futures Product to Show Real-Time Basis and Yield Curve Swap Spread Relationships
NEW YORK, NY – November 7, 2005 – Cantor Market Data, LLC, a subsidiary of Cantor Fitzgerald, L.P. and the exclusive source of real-time fixed income pricing and data sourced from eSpeed markets for U.S. and European Government Securities, announced today that it has enhanced its marquee desktop application, G3 Vision, with the addition of several major new features.
G3 Vision now highlights the spread relationship between any two Cash or Futures instruments. The new Basis function is shown when a Cash instrument is compared to a future. The new Yield Curve Swap spread is shown when any two Cash or any two Futures instruments are compared. These features enable traders to better understand the relationship and trading opportunities within and between the U.S. Treasury Yield Curve and Basis markets. Traders can see real-time spread relationships within Cash and Futures markets and each instrument within the context of the market as a whole. These Basis and spread relationships illustrate trading opportunities along the yield curve.
In addition, traders now have the option to conveniently set their own price ratios. This empowers them to visualize the opportunities of potential trades including any weighted spread trades they may conceive of.
“The added features of G3 were developed in close consultation with our existing Cantor G3 Vision users, and meet the growing demand to view and understand relationships and trading opportunities within the U.S. Treasury and Futures markets, both in real-time and in an easily understandable way,” Said Bernard A. Weinstein, Senior Managing Director.
“We are very pleased to launch these new features of G3 Vision. For the first time, market participants can view the spread relationship between any two Cash and Futures instruments in a dynamic, graphical presentation,” said Jeffrey M. Bandman, Senior Vice President. “Our customers now have the ability to analyze and interpret specific spread relationships in real time, further empowering their trading strategies. G3 Vision’s enhanced functionality demonstrates Cantor Market Data’s continued innovation in, and dedication to, meeting our customers’ evolving needs”.
Cantor G3 Vision, which provides an unparalleled graphical representation of both U.S. Treasuries and Futures markets, uses moving color and three-dimensional graphics to transform raw market data into critical information for rapid decision making. G3’s cutting edge Focus View now provides unprecedented ease of displaying Basis and Yield Curve Swaps.
As always, Cantor G3 Vision gives users unprecedented insight into market dynamics and depth that is simply not possible with traditional displays. The US Treasury Cash and Futures Limit Order Books are presented side by side, allowing users to see the relationship and trading opportunities within the markets.
A suite of market views efficiently combines - within eye-span - the Limit Order Books, the Active Market Stack, the most recent trades and intraday price/yield activity for US Treasury Cash and Futures instruments. G3 efficiently provides critical information and decision making tools for U.S. Treasury Cash and Futures instruments and enhances understanding of the collective supply/demand balance for the trading complex.
Cantor G3 Vision upgrades will be viewable at the FIA Conference and Exhibit (Hyatt Regency, Chicago, November 8-10, 2005) at Cantor Market Data’s booth (612).
