April’s volatility was a major test for fixed-income markets, driven largely by US policy changes. Dwayne Middleton, global head of fixed income trading at T. Rowe Price, speaks to Trader TV about how his desk navigated the heightened volatility, where his traders are leveraging a diverse selection of protocols and unpacks how much of its fixed income flow is now automated—saying “we’re certainly not trading in an automated or electronic fashion just for the sake of it.”
Middleton also shares his views on the buzz around agentic artificial intelligence (Agentic AI), where it’s currently being applied to the trading desk, and how these applications could evolve in the future.
