Citadel Securities Eyes French Debt Market Launch in January

Citadel Securities LLC plans to become a market maker of French government debt in January, as the electronic trading firm expands its reach in European rates markets.

Sergio Colantuono, head of euro rates trading at the firm, said the move follows its success in euro and sterling interest-rate swaps, as well as in German secondary debt. The firm has been active in European rates markets for over a year and is steadily increasing its presence across different types of securities.
