We analyse liquidity dynamics in the UK long gilt futures market. We use a novel order book dataset to assess liquidity resilience to sources of pressure such as policy operations or episodes of financial distress. Our results provide evidence in favour of resilience. We further show that this...

Using unique data at transaction and counterparty identity level, we study the microstructure of the Swiss franc FX over‑the‑counter (OTC) derivatives market during a time of stress that was triggered by the decision of the Swiss National Bank (SNB) to remove the Swiss franc‑euro exchange...

Using trade repository data at transaction and ID levels, we provide the first systematic study of interest rate swaps traded over the counter in the new regulatory regime. We find substantial and persistent heterogeneity in derivatives prices consistent with a pass-through of regulatory costs...

We investigate how counterparties' characteristics, and the collateral they use, interact with their demand for liquidity in the Bank of England's (BoE) operations. Between 2010 and 2016 there was regular usage of two BoE facilities: Indexed Long-Term Repos (ILTR) and the Funding for Lending...

In this paper we investigate the price, volatility and micro-level effects of central bank swap lines during the 2020 pandemic. These policies lowered the ceiling on covered interest rate parity violations and reduced volatility following settlement of swap line auctions. We then combine...
