EBS will be providing visual access to EBS Market and EBS Direct liquidity via a new tool, the EBS Trade Activity Dashboard, to ensure everyone has access to a both the primary and relationship market price, to provide a single, trusted reference point across 40 currency pairs.

What is a primary market, and why is it valuable?

A primary market is an anonymous central limit order book which serves as the primary point of reference for where you can buy or sell specific spot or NDF currencies.

Why are primary markets valuable?

Trade activity from primary markets represent the most accurate picture of where trades could be executed at any given point in time. This firm liquidity often forms the basis for pricing in the bilateral marketplace and is especially critical during periods of extreme volatility when off-book market prices can be extremely volatile and less reliable.

What is the role of EBS Market in the global FX marketplace?

For over 25 years, EBS’ central limit order book has been a primary FX trading venue and is the primary market and price of reference globally across a range of spot and NDF pairs – including EUR/USD, USD/JPY, EUR/JPY, USD/CHF, EUR/CHF, USD/CNH, USD/KRW, USD/INR, and USD/TWD. Committed to creating fair and open markets, EBS Market has firm, executable prices for spot, metal, and NDF currencies that traders around the world trust.

What is EBS Direct?
