This episode of The European Market Brief dives deep into the rapidly evolving world of credit derivatives and fixed income trading.

Mark Longo is joined by Russell Rhoads ("Dr. VIX"), Natesh Pothalingam from Bloomberg, and Chris Dopp from Eurex to explore the explosive growth in listed credit index futures, the impact of inflation and geopolitical volatility on the credit markets, and why institutional and retail traders alike are increasingly embracing credit products.

The panel discusses:

Why credit index futures are gaining traction
How rising rates and inflation fears are reshaping fixed income markets
The evolution of European and global credit trading
Why listed credit products may be more efficient than ETFs or OTC products
Retail and "pro-tail" access to credit markets
The future of sector-based and geographically expanded credit products
Why liquidity and capital efficiency are driving adoption

Plus: insights into high yield, investment grade credit, emerging markets, systematic trading flows, and the growing role of credit derivatives in modern portfolio management.
