There is more to fixed income trading than regulatory uncertainty. Downgrades of sovereign debt and the ongoing credit crisis are affecting the market landscape perhaps even more than the proposals coming out of Basel, Brussels and Washington.

Come hear industry experts discuss changes in the trading of credit and rates markets, and the effects that economic and regulatory events will have on these products going forward.
