From macro signals to execution edge in fixed income

Drawing on insights from our Global Fixed Income & FinTech Institutional Leaders Summit in June, Roheet Shah, Head of Dealer Sales, APAC & Head of Hong Kong, and Cathy Cai, China Business Lead, examine how a changing macro landscape is reshaping fixed income markets—and why data, execution and AI are becoming essential to building institutional resilience.

Key takeaways:

• Macro conditions are no longer the sole driver of performance – fragmented liquidity and competing fiscal forces are making timing and execution increasingly critical alongside market direction.
• Execution quality is becoming a source of alpha – trading desks are shifting beyond order execution to playing a role in investment-making decisions and outcomes.
• Data and AI are reshaping workflows – enabling insights to be translated into action more effectively to gain a competitive edge.
