Bloomberg has expanded its Australian bond pricing services as the market continues to grow.
Australia is the third largest global securitised products market outside of the US, with AUD 79.46 issued in 2024.
Jen Pariseau, global head of BVAL securitised products, commented, “As Australia’s financial markets evolve, investors are increasingly seeking advanced tools to assess risk, return, and valuation trends across credit markets. We’ve worked in lockstep with our clients in Australia to build what they need: reliable pricing, intraday transparency, and curves that reflect real market dynamics.”
A further 600 ABS securities have been added to BVAL, the company’s evaluated pricing service. A total 1,600 Australian corporates and RMBS securities are already accessible on the platform. The service allows users to compare risk, return and valuation trends while simplifying reporting and downstream analytics, Bloomberg notes.
Mid and ask-side issuer curves have been added to BVAL. With the existing bid-side issuer curves, this allows risk metrics to more accurately reflect market conditions, Bloomberg says – in line with new Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) requirements.
Intraday front-office pricing service IBVAL now covers USD corporates and emerging market bonds during Australian trading hours, in addition to AUD and NZD government and corporate bonds. This grants users access to near real-time prices, in line with active trading hours.
