Desk KPIs

#1
Client Flow Direction
Risk-On Bias
MANUAL
Aggregate client order flow direction across terminal. Risk-on = net buyer of equities and credit. Signals where institutional money is moving today.
#2
IG New Issue Concession
+7bps (NIC)
MANUAL
New issue concession — premium issuers pay vs. secondary to execute. Below 10bps = hot market, deals oversubscribed, pricing power with issuers.
#3
HY OAS (Credit Terminal)
312bps
FRED · BAMLH0A0HYM2EY
High yield spread — the primary lever for HY trading terminal P&L and HY underwriting mandates. Know this before every credit client call.
#4
Prime Brokerage Net Exp.
52% net long
MANUAL
Aggregate HF client net equity exposure reported via prime. Drives securities lending revenue, swap book, and margin call risk.
#5
IG Bond Issuance (WTD)
$38B
MANUAL
Investment grade issuance volume this week. Heavy supply = new issue pipeline for DCM. Signals whether client CFOs are accessing markets.
#6
Equity Commission Revenue
$4.2M (MTD)
MANUAL
Month-to-date equity commission. Tracks ADV and client activity trends. Declining vs. prior month = client de-risking or low vol compression.
#7
DXY (Dollar Index)
103.8
FRED · DTWEXBGS
Dollar strength indicator. USD strengthening = EM pressure, commodity headwinds. Drives FX terminal client flow and cross-asset positioning.
#8
MOVE Index (Bond Vol)
118.4
FRED · MOVE
Bond market implied vol. High MOVE with low VIX = rates driving cross-asset risk. Watch for rates vol spilling into equity and credit terminals.

The ValixData Sell-Side Research desk organizes market context for professionals working in m&a & advisory. It separates live market feeds from reference indicators so readers can see what is current, what is a baseline, and which source supports each figure.

The desk focuses on signals including Client Flow Direction, IG New Issue Concession, HY OAS (Credit Terminal), Prime Brokerage Net Exp., and related indicators.

Desk status: Core desk. Reference values are not presented as live production feeds. Source cadence and methodology are documented on the methodology page.
