The New York Fed’s Open Market Trading Desk is responsible for aggregating and analyzing information on financial markets and investor expectations, among its many duties. It gathers market intelligence in several ways, including by speaking regularly with market participants, analyzing financial market instruments, and administering surveys.
It’s now making the intelligence more readily usable by releasing data from the Desk’s Survey of Primary Dealers and Survey of Market Participants in a machine-readable format through Excel, that also includes a combined dataset.
“We hope that the new format will enable broader use of this aggregated data, and we will continue to look for ways to make our work as accessible as possible,” wrote the NY Fed’s team.
