hard · Market Microstructure spread-econ
A dealer in the over-the-counter bond market quotes a wider spread for a thinly-traded corporate bond than for an on-the-run Treasury note.
Which microstructure factor primarily explains this difference?
- Federal rules that mandate minimum spreads for investment-grade corporate debt.
- Higher exchange trading fees charged on corporate bonds versus Treasury notes.
- The lower par value typically issued per bond for corporates relative to Treasury notes.
- Increased inventory holding risk due to longer expected time to find a counterparty.
