John Morton
EMEA FI Cash Rates Market Specialist
Bloomberg
John’s career in fixed income markets started in the mid '80s covering Central Banks for Merrill Lynch’s Fixed Income Sales team. In 1995 he joined Bloomberg, working in several roles, primarily as a fixed income specialist, more focused upon emerging markets, guiding the development of Bloomberg's product in this segment. In 2012 he was seconded to the UK's Ministry of Finance, better known as Her Majesty's Treasury, to provide data and understanding of OTC markets to help the UK in its negotiating position for MiFID II. This was for an initial 12 month period re-joining for a further 12 months from 2014 to help develop the UK’s ideas for Capital Markets Union as well as better calibrating bond market transparency in the Level II text for MiFID II. Following John's return to Bloomberg in 2015, he has helped to develop and promote Bloomberg's product offering in the regulatory space particularly with respect to MiFID II, SFTR, MMFR, CSDR, and more latterly, MiFIR II.
