On the liquidity question, I'd be cautious about a confident prediction, since the outcome depends on how the rule is phased and which trades end up cleared. From a chart-reading angle I'd rather watch what the market does: whether bid-ask spreads and repo rates for the affected segments move meaningfully after implementation, and whether the spread between cleared and bilateral rates persists. Has anyone looked at the exemption's scope closely to see which inter-affiliate and non-U.S. trades it actually covers?
