About the Report
The SIFMA Research Quarterlies contain data and statistics on U.S. markets. The fixed income reports are split into two – (1) issuance and trading, (2) outstanding – given a delay in the reporting of outstanding data. The reports cover data on total U.S. fixed income markets, as captured in the SIFMA Research databases: U.S. Treasuries, corporate bonds, municipal securities, federal agency securities, money markets (outstanding only), repurchase agreements (outstanding only), and secured overnight financing rate.
