Markets Now: Bonds, The Rise of Electronic Trading & the AI Effect 6/7/23

CNBC’s Bob Pisani spoke with Howard Lutnick, Chairman and CEO of BGC Partners, and Billy Hult, CEO of Tradeweb Markets, at the Piper Sandler Global Exchange and Fintech Conference in New York. They discussed the current market environment – with anxiety so high, why has volatility sunken to multi-year lows? Fixed income has enjoyed huge inflows, but could the Federal Reserve decision next week change the math on that? They also drilled down into the rapid rise of electronic trading, the impact of AI and the electronification of the bond market. In the “Markets 102” portion, Bob continued the conversation with Billy Hult from Tradeweb.
