The U.S.corporate bond market

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The option D is correct because the U.S. corporate bond market is more transparent than it was in the 1990s. This is due to regulatory changes such as the Trace system, which provides greater transparency in pricing and volume data for bond trades.

The other options are incorrect because: 
A) While there are sources for bond pricing data, end-of-day values for all privately and publicly issued bonds are not readily available. 
B) While the U.S. corporate bond market is significant, it is not the largest securities market in the world based on trading volume. That title goes to the foreign exchange market. 
C) While some bond trading may still occur face-to-face, much of the market is now electronic. 
E) While there are platforms that provide daily price quotes, BDEX is not one of them.
