Wall Street securities dealers and money managers are increasingly relying on algorithms to execute even the biggest corporate-bond trades, the latest sign of movement toward electronic trading in a $12 trillion market that was long one of the biggest holdouts. Around 35% of block trades worth $5 million or more are now handled through RFQs, or requests for quotes, which are electronic, and portfolio trades, which are mostly electronic, according to Barclays Plc ’s analysis of data on the investment-grade market through the end of last year. That’s up from just 7% a little less than a decade ago. The rise underscores the broader shift across the finance industry, where the electronic trading that dominates the stock market has been making steady inroads with fixed-income securities that were once considered more difficult to standardize. In recent years, both JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Morgan Stanley have increased the ability of their algorithms to handle bigger block trades. “The voice trading business is really fading away,” said Adam Jones , former head of portfolio and electronic trading at RBC Capital Management, referring to the traditional way of arranging trades over the phone. “The algo teams are getting bigger. They’re adding quant power and technology.” The transition has cut the cost of trading and helped to lower corporate borrowing costs more broadly by reducing the yield premiums that investors demand in return for buying less-easy-to-sell securities. According to proprietary pricing data from electronic-trading platform MarketAxess Holdings Inc. , the so-called bid-ask spread — a commonly used measure of transaction costs — dipped to about 4.7 basis points on trades of over $5 million during the first quarter from about 7.6 basis points two years earlier. Mark Clegg, the senior fixed-income trader at Allspring Global Investments , is among those who have welcomed the shift. Even as the Iran war was rattling markets in early March, he said it took less...

The company now expects 2026 adjusted earnings per share of about $4.43, up from a prior midpoint of roughly $3.93, citing improved expectations in its crushing and ethanol businesses following updates to U.S. renewable fuel requirements.

ADM said it continues to monitor external factors, including consumer demand, energy costs, supply chain disruptions, and global trade conditions.

Decision of the king’s track to quit the Racecourse Association may ultimately lead to long overdue reform The racing industry is such a broad and varied collection of professions, venues and interests that at times it can feel like the Holy Roman empire: there is always a turf war or two going on somewhere, but never to such an extent that the whole thing falls apart.

Decision of the king’s track to quit the Racecourse Association may ultimately lead to long overdue reform The racing industry is such a broad and varied collection of professions, venues and interests that at times it can feel like the Holy Roman empire: there is always a turf war or two going on somewhere, but never to such an extent that the whole thing falls apart. Ascot’s announcement on Monday that it will quit the Racecourse Association (RCA) at the end of the year, however, feels like more than just another localised dispute. The email dropped at 9am on a bank holiday, as if to underline that the king’s track means business, and where Ascot has led, others may follow, putting the future of a trade association that dates back to 1907 in serious doubt.

Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now! When Jérémy Doku wheeled away in celebration with his finger to his lips after curling home a last-gasp equaliser for Manchester City at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Monday night, it was difficult to know who he was trying to shush. If the gesture was intended to mute the celebrations of Arsenal fans who had just witnessed their team seize the upper hand in the stumble toward this year’s title, it is unlikely to have had much effect. Doku’s second goal of the night was little more than an exercise in damage limitation that ensured his side blunderbussed themselves in just one foot, instead of both. At the front of the away end, ‘bottle man’ was far less performative, even if a telltale bulge about his person suggested he had come prepared for victory. Was that an unopened, Arsenal-branded bottle of salty tears in his pocket or was he just pleased to see his side come from 3-1 down to salvage a potentially useless point from the wreckage of an evening that started so promisingly? Friday’s Football Daily wondered if Jeff Winter would be travelling with Middlesbrough to their big game at Wrexham on Saturday. Well, if he had, he would merely have been jumping on the Boro bandwagon, as he’d already headed to Hednesford Town last Tuesday for the even bigger Northern Premier League playoff semi-final, where his beloved Stockton Town were beaten 2-0. It would be a brave man who followed one such disappointment with the prospect of another” – Glyn Berrington. After the latest hair-pulling red card over the weekend, Régis le Bris made the suggestion that he would adjust his team’s playing style to adapt to the opposition striker’s tonsorial arrangements (‘if he has long hair, we have a problem’). This got me thinking: surely there is a more proactive marginal gain to be had here, if teams look at how to manage their players’ barnets to maximise the chance of hair-tugging offences against them? Are we about to witness the rise o...
